Week 8

I missed one from last week... the shower in the master bathroom is getting framed up - the large rectangular space under the window will be a nice big shampoo niche. I am a big fan of wall niches.

The electricians continued working. This is a recessed light above the bathtub, which you might remember, is in our former bedroom closet. Note the original wood frame and drywall along the back wall from when the house was built (1951), still in great shape.

Our lovely vinyl double-glazed in-swing French doors from Fine Windows & Doors in Reseda have been delivered!

Master bedroom-to-garden doors

Family room-to-patio doors WITH operable sidelights
(the center two doors and the screens for the sidelights
are on the other side of the room, not shown)

Our lovely double-hung vinyl windows, also from Fine Windows & Doors in Reseda, have been installed throughout.

Rebar for concrete patio has been laid

The air conditioning units, ducts and vents were installed this week. The AC will run throughout the whole house, including the existing rooms, so they had to cut holes into the ceilings. There's no escaping the dust and debris in any of the rooms.

lovely, cool air conditioning

On Friday, the city inspector came by to check the rough electrical and plumbing, and the preparations for the patio.
