3rd Floor bathroom progress

One of the cool things about the house is that when taking a shower in the 3rd floor bathroom, ones head will be in the skylight dome....Do they issue tickets for flashing a helicopter?

You can also see that the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) guys started last week. They started to pull duct work up to the air exchanger and fan on the 3rd floor....

All 4 of the toilets in the house are wall mounted Geberit low flow toilets with dual flush mode. You can see the `carrier' for the toilet in the middle of this pic. The tank for the toilet is hidden in the wall cavity.

We bought almost all of our plumbing fixtures online. The sinks and toilets were purchased from Ira Wood & Sons in Kentucky. They have an excellent website for comparing products:

Hi Mike and Jeff,
Jeff, this is a voice from your past. Actually from your next-door past. It's me, Nancy! Tami passed along your website to me so I could see your house. Looks great. What a lot of work you have done. It was lots of fun to see and also to see an updated picture of my old buddy. OK, comment about old is in reference as to how long we have known each other, not about our age, which we are just not going to talk about! haha Mom has often given me updates on you and Tam, Rog and Scott because she sees your Mom for bridge. But when we were out in August for a visit for my Mom's birthday, I got a lovely call from Tami. What a treat it was to catch up with her. I am so glad things are going well for you. Remember when I worked at SMF blood center and you were around the corner and we would go out for Japanese? I have never done anything on a blog. So maybe I'm not supposed to write this much. Anyways, you can drop a line to me at beadedhorse@earthlink.net if you want. Hi Mike, we have never met, but any friend of Jeff's is a friend of mine. Nice job on your website. Well, bye Jeff. Hope to hear from you. Nancy

Disaster averted....One step closer

Yesterday the City Utilities Dept. sent out the guy that is Mr. Sewer for all of East Sac....He had an old map of our part of town that showed the water and sewer lines running diagonally across our lot!!! After one quick look at the manhole in the front of the lot and the manhole in the alley, it was easy to see that the sewer line ran parallel and well within the 20 foot easement....excellent, but what about water? Today the Utilities Department sent out the guy that is Mr. Water for all of East Sac...he had one of those retro 1970's-esq Fu Man Chu mustaches, not that I noticed.... Anyway, he brought all sorts of fancy pipe detection equipment and in no time at all he found the water pipe....It was also well within the easement and does not run under house site....phew... Pat at the City Utilities Department just called, she had that perky and cheerful voice that most people get when they can tell you that a problem has been averted, she used that voice when she told me

Walk on by....

At long last our front steps and sidewalk are done... We also replaced half of the sidewalk in front of our old house next door. The city had flagged it for replacement due to tree root damage(at our expense of course - thanks to Proposition 13) six months ago. We worked with the new homeowners to repair their landscape and now we both have great looking sidewalks.

Stepping Out!

This picture shows the guys from Excel Concrete(highly recommended for both foundations and flat work) smoothing the concrete at our front door stoop....Down the side of the house you can see three of the other four additional sets of forms that they filled with concrete today..The house has a total of 5 exterior doors and one roll up garage door...All of them now have concrete steps with salt textured finish....We have a front entrance garden planned that will incorporate a concrete wall and more concrete work.....If the city makes us put in a sidewalk to pass final inspection I guess Mike will be laying down temporary pavers next weekend....
