Me in our yellow room
Since we had the painting done in the bathroom already, I went ahead and built the built in shelves behind the bath tub so that I wouldn't have to work around the toilet later. It was a tight fit, but I like how it turned out!
Built ins behind the tub
Our amazing friend, Dan Saunders, came out to help with the PEX connections in our plumbing lines and to extend our propane line closer to the water heater which was awesome. When it was done, he set up an air test on the water lines. We pressurized the system to about 80 psi and.....it leaked. Crap. The search was on! We found 1 PEX connection leaking, 1 solder joint and 4 threaded joints leaking. Unfortunately, the threaded joints were all for the shower which meant I had to carefully disassemble the shelves in the bathroom so that they could be done over. Boo! Luckily, the came apart with only 2 pieces breaking.

While Dan was working on plumbing, Scott was busy with tile. He did a beautiful job on the floor and the shower surround. I almost can't believe we have such a beautiful space in our home.

Bathroom with all the furniture!
Running water in the house
I polished off the drain the next day (last Sunday) and got the pocket door installed, so the bathroom is looking almost done now! We just need to do the trim around the door and the ceiling. Then the only thing stopping us from a hot shower at home is a vent for the water heater! Maybe this weekend...
Finished pocket door
Last night, I started laying the floor in Catherine's room. We're using snap together hardwood/composite flooring in a dark oak. It looks really nice and is pre-finished which is a huge time saver. The bedrooms lack finished electrical, ceiling fans, flooring, trim and doors. While that seems like a long list, it isn't much when you consider where we started.

Parts of the house are starting to look like a house!
Along with the progress on the inside, Jeremy got all of the windows and doors pointed so that they are completely water tight. Woot!

Its been busy and we've got lots left to do. Its nice to see some mostly finished spaces finally though!
