My Home Rehab - Plumbing/Electrical Rough & Framing

Sep 10, 2007

The rehab is moving right along. I went by this morning, and there was something wrong w/ my camera flash so most of the pics didn’t come out. It doesn’t really matter that much, though, because pictures of plumbing & electrical aren’t really worth looking at.

Here’s a pic of the kitchen bar that’s been framed in. You can see to the back & right of it that a lot of other framing work was done. The framing behind the kitchen bar is the master bathroom – it turned out to be pretty huge, which was a very nice surprise. Oh, one other surprise we had was when we demo’ed the half wall on the loft – you can see here that the original builder/architect used a steel I-beam to support the loft. He was pretty serious about this home when he designed it.
Here’s a photo of the front closet. Nothing really much to see here, but the plumbing has been run to convert this to the half bath. Again, plumbing rough isn’t a lot of fun to take pictures of.

So…that’s where we are right now. We’re about 2 days ahead of schedule & slightly under budget. I’m meeting with Lane, the welder, this evening to talk about the loft rail design. He’s going to start fabricating it this week to install next week.
