I had to remove the 2″ galvanized lead pipe from my kitchen drain to change over to PVC. When I opened the wall, I saw that 1. the plumber never vented the pipe and 2. it was reduced from 2″ to 1.25″ pipe. This constricts even more airflow and could cause slow drainage. Weird. So I cut it with my angle grinder and capped it with a Fernco Pipe cap and we are going to abandon it. I will run new PVC up to it from the vented lav run that I did back in November. We had a friend of ours refer us to a professional taper. He finishes drywall for the union and let me tell you he is amazing. The ceiling went up Sunday and I can almost paint on Sat. He is waiting for me to hang the rest of the drywall later today. Its really coming together so fast!

After a weekend of wrist crumbling work, we have a ceiling. Dreamy was able to take care of life for me while I help hang a ceiling with a hired hand. This guy was an ace, we had the ceiling up in 4 hours. We had our electrician friend wire a new panel giving us 15 more circuits. I took the opportunity to re wire about 80% of the house this past weekend. It feels great knowing I have a ground now. Tonight he tapes and gets us going on the bathroom. I really hope to get a floor done in a week. I think its possible.

Wiring = pwNED! I re wired pretty much my 1st floor with shiny new 12/2 wire. Getting ready to close up those studs with new drywall. Happening very soon.
