This week has been all about plumbing. Our home was built in 1939 and reworking a space that was never meant for a bathroom proves to be a challenge.
“Challenge accepted,” said our plumber.
This might not look like much but it represents one of Adam’s many strokes of genius. You see, we were having a difficult time figuring out where the sewer line was. Proposed solutions included excavating our entire backyard (essentially) and poking a lot of unnecessary holes in the foundation. The first solution would have put us over budget by $1,100. Then Adam proposed the solution: a metal detector…a $40 metal detector. We bought it up hard, took it home, went scanning for buried treasure and found the line within seconds. Without further adieu, the sewer line connection.

They’ve also roughed in the plumbing for both sinks.
We are about a third of the way there and looking forward to moving downstairs into the new master bedroom and we’re (Layne) is really looking forward to soaking for hours in the new claw foot tub!
