Stan and Pat, our plumber, were suppose to be here around 0900 this morning so after I finished breakfast I went outside to rake leaves as rain is predicted for tomorrow.
I got the front lawn raked before Stan got here and since he had some work to do inside I decided to finish raking the back yard while I had everything out. Pat arrived just as I was putting my tools in the garage and by the time he brought his tools into the house I was back inside as well.
Kathleen went to Natalie and Zander's Grandparent Day at their school, I could not do because one of the two of us needed to be here to answer questions and also help Stan run the Cat-6 wire for Kathleen's computer. As it turned out it was a good thing that I was here as Stan did not have a drill long enough to go through all the flooring and I was able to get my old lamp drill that I use to use on my lathe as it was almost two feet long.
Around noon time Pat had finished installing the plumbing hardware as well as the bathtub and took off. After Pat took off I finished putting on the connectors on the wire that we had run up to Kathleen's computer room. The other end goes to my computer but I have not hooked that one up yet.
Kathleen came home and had a good time with the grandchildren and brought home some chocolate milk and a bag of chips that she did not eat for her lunch. After she got settled back in she worked with Stan as to the placement to the grab bars for the tub.
Stan had a meeting to go to so he needed to leave early and since for the next three days the people who are hanging the drywall will be here. Since he will not be able to work on the bathroom until they are done he took his tools with him as he had a couple small jobs to do for a couple days I helped him gather up his tools and load them into his pickup and he left about fifteen minutes later than he had planned on but he thought that he would be okay in making his meeting.
After he left I took out the box that the tub had come in; it was nice not to have that sitting in the living room after a couple of days. Both Pat and Stan were amazed at how deep it was and after seeing it in place it is about six or so inches taller than our old tub.
Well, tomorrow the guys that are doing the dry walling are suppose to be here around 0800 tomorrow morning. besides the bathroom we are also redoing the lower section of our bedroom and a couple places where we had some water damage a few years ago so that is why it is taking a couple days to do that. There is also the closet in my office that we tore apart while we were doing the bathroom so that will get fresh dry wall as well.
Since they are doing our bedroom ceiling over our bed I will need to take that apart tomorrow morning before they get started. We are also having a light coating of texture added to the walls and ceiling in the bathroom, so that will probably make up the third day.
Tonight we had another dinner of the pot roast that Kathleen had made the other night; this is the third meal that we have had form that roast and there is still enough for at least one more meal.
I think that is all I can think about for tonight my eyes are itchy from the dust and insulation so I think I will sign off.
