Week 19

Just a little farther to go...

Our bathroom vanities were delivered and installed. Oops... the right power outlet is now in the wrong place and had to be repositioned.

Argentina vanity in the kids'/guest bathroom

The toilets were hung and the actuator plates installed (fancy name for the buttons you push to flush).

Just look at those lovely smooth sides...

...and the space underneath you can easily clean!

The living room in the front of the house, which was always so dark, had recesses put in for lights, and wiring for a ceiling light.

The patio ceiling had recesses put in for lights.

The closet in Felix's room acquired a big hole in it which they cut to work on the plumbing in the bathroom on the other side of the wall.

I went to Lowe's late at night and purchased bi-fold closet doors.

Our new (additional) tankless water heater was installed for the hot water in the bathrooms, a Rinnai RL75EN, 7.5 gpm Energy Star rated, purchased via eBay.

On Sunday, we had a family painting party. 13 years earlier, almost to the day, Jim and I, together with our neighbors Michael and Deirdre (who have since retired to Arizona) painted the front bedroom yellow in preparation for our baby girl who was due six weeks later. It was the weekend before my baby shower, and Ella then decided she was going to join us the following week instead of waiting until November. After sharing the room with her brother up to now, Ella is getting her own room, and Felix wanted it blue. He picked the color himself and we all worked together to get that paint on the walls. The end result is not anywhere near as good looking as the professionally painted walls in the rest of the house, but we had fun doing it, and Felix doesn't care.
