Plumbing, Countertops, and a Small Leak

This week, the counter tops came in.  We also had the plumbers show up to do their finish plumbing work.  It is exciting to see the final details start to come together.  We also had the flooring just about finished up along with the fireplace.  The shower door and mirrors are in.  The carpet guy showed up today to start laying the carpet.  We also had the cement guys show up to prep the driveway, RV pad, front steps and back patio.  Unfortunately, we have had a bit of a cold snap lately and it has been too cold to pour the cement, so we are praying for better weather.  The soffit guy showed up and finished up the exterior soffit and fascia.  Everything is looking close to done.

We did have a bit of adventure after the plumbers left on Monday.  We were checking out their work when the shower door guy came and told us there was a water leak in the basement.  Sure enough, there was water leaking out the door frame of one of the downstairs closets.  I quickly ran over and shut off the water to the house.  They came in the next day and fixed it.  Now they have to redo some of the drywall to patch up the damaged areas.

Here are the pics:

Here the cement guys are putting down a heavy roadbase down for the driveway.  They had to dig quite a ways down to get through the frost.  This means that they have to backfill with the roadbase which is good for the driveway.

The plumbers showed up on the 16th with a garbage can full of fittings for the house.

Here's the kitchen sink.

The new mantle is in now.

Here is the Master tub.

And the Master vanity and sinks.

The shower got finished up as well.

Here is the main bathroom.

Here is the bathroom in the bonus room.  Jill will be happy that there is more room to store her stuff when she comes up from Texas to visit.

Here is the pipe that was leaking.

Finally, my sink in the garage.
