Door Moved,Stairs In And Some Electrical Work.

The house was busy today with activity,which was nice to see.My brother was in doing some more electrical work and our contractor was doing his thing.

They moved our door over and put in the stairs to go up into the new part of the house.It actually turned out to be two stairs,I had guessed three.

I tried.

My wife and I went to price all the little accessories that we are going to need.You know,faucets,shower head,toilet,vanity and lights.I have come to realize that all those little small things are really expensive.You don't realize it until your looking at the prices of things going"wow $229 for a bathroom fan"....yikes! What have we gotten ourselves into?

We bought the cheaper bathroom fan,which still ended up costing us $74.I thought even that was pricey.And to top it off,they don't even give you the bulb to put in the light!!!You think they could at least throw in the bulb.

Anway enough of that,lets look at some pictures.....
                                                    
        Before                                                               After

                      









There you can see where they moved the door over, so it wasn't so tight against the wall.It just looks better not so close to that wall. 




Here are the stairs going into the addition.I thought I had a before picture somewhere but I can't seem to find it.So your just going to have to picture in your mind, a closed in area going into our old basement.I know I do have a before picture around of this area and when I come across it I will post it.The before and after pictures of course. 

My brother while he was working at the house today, asked our contractor how long he figured before we could move back in.He told my brother in about three weeks.That of course he told my brother depends on how his two guys work. 

That really worries me considering the one guy who works is a little bit older and usually takes off around 1pm or so.And the other guy,well he just started a few weeks ago.Throw into the fact our contractor possible taking on more jobs in that time,makes me think that three weeks is a long shot.   


Time will tell!
