Had some of the young men from the ward come over today to help out. They were a big help. They worked on the demolition of the old storage area, taking it back as far as it can go before we hit the old bathroom.
Yesterday we put down tack strip and carpet pad in the bedrooms. Today I hired a carpet installer to come in and install the carpet in the bedrooms on Saturday. It would have cost us $60 to rent the equipment we would have needed, it only cost $65 for him to come do the install. I figured that was a pretty good deal.
For a while the young men were mudding up the hallways and bathroom. I had been doing some drywall and just kept going while they were here so we could get a complete first coat in. They did a pretty good job.
Chad got the bathroom closet framed and the vanity put in, which is pretty good until you consider the fact that he also put up the drywall for the thing, and not all the wiring for the electrical is done. I was waiting on the wall before doing the electrical, went to Tom's graduation, and came back to fully closed walls. Chad is not solely to blame, I put the drywall up in the hall blocking off access to the switches for wiring. Chad was gone before I got there, I will have to break the news to him tomorrow...
The plumber is sure that the hot water will be back on either tomorrow night or Saturday morning. He also thinks we can do the demolition of the old bathroom on Saturday. I took another cold shower this evening, not quite as bad as last night, still pretty cold, but not as bad.
Tomorrow? Carefully removing select pieces of drywall to run wires, duct work for HVAC, sanding and more drywall mud, and general mayhem all around...
