New socket on the landing . This pleases me - never had one there before - will make hoovering the stairs infinitely easier
Taking a short break from vacation pictures, here are a few home improvement projects we've completed within the past few days.
Now that we have countertops Joanna was able to tackle the project of sorting and storing away all the kitchen gifts from the wedding.
Socket and light switch have both been moved in th hallway - all the sockets are about 12 inches higher and light switches 6 inches lower. and some in entirely different places altogether - it's very confusing when you walk in, in the dark with no idea where they've been put :D
The water main enters the house, goes past the hot water heater to the main valve, through the meter, past the regulator and through the wall. On the other side of the wall it goes up to the ceiling, splits, and comes back to the hot water heater.
I suppose it could be worse.
The regulator is supposed to, of course, regulate the water pressure so that high pressure does not blow out gaskets and such in faucets and toilets. The maximum pressure allowed by code is 80psi.
Ours was measured at 160psi. The plumber had never seen it that high and couldn't understand how the rest of our plumbing had been able to survive.
We have this ridiculous old concrete slab in our side yard -- it's where the old landing for a stairway used to be (this has been moved since the house was renovated).
Anyway, it's a huge tripping hazard in the dark and when I try to move trash cans in and out. I figure it's time to remove it. I rented a demolition hammer from Home Depot and went to work. That thing is FUN.
We painted ALL DAY on Saturday - it always takes long than you think its going to. Now to convince my husband to get rid of the dingy old wallpaper :-)

In the small bathroom. I posted a photo a while back when it was just a hole in the house, so here's the final product.
We need to put down some concrete board for the eventual installation of tile so up came the old flooring.
Like most everything else in the house we spent quite a bit of time deciding on a final Corian color, sink style and faucet. Now that they are all in we're pretty happy with our choices which is good. Up to this point I've only mounted the faucet so I still need to hook it up to the water and plumb the drains. Let's hope that's easy.
this is the unfiished portion of our basement with our new lights we put in this weekend and the washer and dryer we got a few weeks ago.
