Productive - non productive

Well it was the weekend which means the crew were not at work... 

But the plumber was quite busy!

Here is the water drain pipe in place below the foundation.

In goes the water line..

I am having the plumbing roughed-in in the basement, just in case I want waterworks in there.

The plumber has seen the plans, so I guess he knows what he is doing, but I am not sure where all those pipes and drains go. Ha!

Look the plum tree is blooming..

And then it was Monday... 

Today was not an active day on site. I met with my contractor and the drywall guy stopped by and later the plumber came back when we had left. The plumber filled all the pipes with water and tomorrow the building inspector will do what he does- he will inspect the pipes to see if they have leaked. 

Then it will be safe to pour the basement floor- Wednesday maybe.

My contractor ensures the pipes are in the right place!  I was not updated with the decision to move the water heater to better spot.

So this week will not be too busy. Next week it's windows, deck and electrical...

But it was a productive day nonetheless... My contractor and I picked out my front and back doors, decided on the tile for the whole house and in the bathroom shower and around the tub. I picked up the flashing pipes (not exact term) for the wood stove for through the roof and through the ceiling. The crew will put those in and then the stove crew will install the rest..... Much later.

Meanwhile.....

This from the back of the neighbours yard.....

Will have to confirm the view from their balcony deck next time they are in town. 

I have not decided on window coverings yet.
