demo is now almost complete. paul is toying with the idea of re-tiling the floor too since we already have gutted the entire bathroom.

and of course it's not a job unless you give a little blood to the project gods...

Oh There MUST be a Blood Sacrifice !!!

plthijinx · 02-10-2011, 07:24 PM

true there. tomorrow if i don't go in early to work on the new deck i have to re-route some romex. no big deal. in the upper corner you can see where the wiring went to power the light over the sink. since we removed the fur down i now have to drill 2 2x4's and pass the cable through them so that the drywall can mount up flush. still trying to decide where to mount the new light over the sink though. on the wall or on the ceiling? dunno. figure that out later.

BrianR · 02-11-2011, 10:36 AM

I suggest the wall. I just like that look better. And don't forget to put in a light/vent fan over the shower and for Pete's sake, make sure the vent exhausts OUTSIDE! I've seen what can happen when the vent exhausts into the attic, a void or once even a dryer port.

Come summer, I may even have a few big projects to share such as shed/barn building. Help is always welcome too!

plthijinx · 02-11-2011, 10:58 AM

lol right! yeah we are putting in a fart fan. didn't even think about venting to the outside. will go mention that now.

last night i decided to move the electrical like previously stated. MAN did i ever cause a spark! i was working "hot" and while removing the staple holding the romex on i busted through the insulation and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAP! didn't get me though but sure was bright!

i like the wall idea too but paul wants a ceiling mount. oh well.

And you want us to jump into your airplane for a sky trip?

Which was brighter, the spark...or you?

plthijinx · 02-11-2011, 01:49 PM

oh most definitely the spark!

oh and hey! i must be a good pilot......i'm still alive!

Shawnee123 · 02-11-2011, 01:53 PM

This is true!

Actually, I would have total faith in your flying ability. I would, however, think you might turn to me and say "here, hold my beer and watch THIS!" Vroooooooooom. I'm fearless in the earthly mortal realm, though.

plthijinx · 02-11-2011, 03:17 PM

ahhhh yes. the proverbial redneck famous last words... "HEY Y'ALL WATCH THIS!" splat.

You boys need a good fire! Imagine how fast you could build... I admire your grit though.

Clodfobble · 02-12-2011, 03:36 PM

I'm sure this is a dumb question... but are you certain that's old termite damage? I hope you are treating the ground around the house with termite poison just to be safe, otherwise all your new work could get eaten away again in short order.

just got through doing just that. yesterday one of bobby's friends showed up at work. he's an exterminator. gave me some heavy duty shit to spray. i soaked the bathroom especially the hole in the concrete for the shower drain.

plthijinx · 02-14-2011, 09:17 PM

ok. we are finished for the night. you can see in one pic the termite treatment sprayed vvvvery generously around the hole in the house slab for shower drainage. this weekend while i was trying to not get mauled by go kart kids paul put in the shower wall framing. then the framing on the wall behind the commode/vanity wall. the pipes made him do the jigsaw puzzle 2x4s then tonight i re re-wired the ceiling circuits to facilitate our needs. paul did decide to go with a wall mount light like i had hoped he would.
