Electric, Insulation, Windows

Our house is finally sealed from the outdoor elements! Our 3rd upstairs window went in today, and the house already feels a bit warmer. We have also been very busy wiring two bedrooms and half of the kitchen. It's amazing how exciting hitting a light switch can be.

The master bedroom has been mostly gutted, only the ceiling wood lathe left

Bathroom

We have been very busy over the last few weeks. The bathroom has been 95% tiled, we just need to add a few pieces of trim. The bathroom door is in place. And we rebuilt our vanity to hold our 1920's sink.

Tiling

This weekend John and I leveled out our bathroom floor to prepare for the tile. I tiled the bathroom floor, which still needs to be cleaned up and grout added. I also insulated the ceiling of another bedroom. There is also a picture of a bedroom window that was recently installed.

Window with trim

Today I made the sill and trim for our bathroom window. I must say it turned out quite well and I look forward to finishing other windows! I also painted the interior of one side of our skinny bath closet. We've worked on numerous other tasks throughout the house which I can't begin to keep track off. We have our refrigerator at the house now, although it's not yet plugged in.

Close to a bathroom

This weekend I worked on drywalling the bathroom - first I had to level out the wall with the window as it wasn't close to being level or plumb. My first attempt at drywalling isn't very good, I'm hoping the spackle will fill in all my mistakes! I also framed in what will be a little cabinet that will double as a shelf for the shower at the end of the tub.

Last weekend we worked on breaking off some remaining cement from the walls, and filling in the cracks, along will other cementing to our crumbling brick. John worked more on the our sink stand. And our wall where the chimney used to be is now all repaired.
