They are still plugging along on our house remodel. A little word of advice: home remodeling with three young children is not for the faint of heart. I am DONE! :-)
They finished the tile and electrical and then moved on to the plumbing. This is where we hit a snag. We needed to move the huge black pipe out of the middle of the family room and relocate it to the bathroom. At first, they thought the pipe in the bathroom that they needed was above ground but when they opened the wall they discovered that it was nine inches underground. That was a big problem. This involved bringing in a guy who used a high tech machine to x-ray the floors and tell us exactly where the pipes and post tenstion bars were underground (meaning lots of extra money) and cutting a hole in the exterior wall of our house and then digging underneath the foundation until they could locate the needed pipe. It was a huge, messy and long ordeal but it is now done.
Yesterday they started the drywall and patching all of the holes they cut to do the plumbing and electrical work. They were going to finish today, but the drywall mud wasn't dry yet so they will finish that tomorrow. Then all they will have left is to reattach the carpet. I was really hoping they would be done by this weekend so we could relax and watch conference in our new family room but that's probably not going to happen. But at least there is an end in sight. :-)
