We've been working on plumbing and painting all of the finishing touches (trim, baseboards, doors) in the dining and living rooms. Plumbing is something Derek doesn't know anything about so he is having to rely on his dad and one of the guys that works for his dad to walk him through everything. Luckily the plumbing isn't moving a whole lot in the bathroom but they are replacing the old pipes with new copper pipes.
Replacing the pipes
New copper pipes!
Sealing the joints of the pipes. After they were finished and they turned the water back on to check to see if any of the joints leaked, they found out that a few of them did. Those will have to be done over :( But they got a lot done this day!! Keep in mind John has a cast on.
This is right across from our house. You can see this out our front window, out the dining room window and from our porch. The fountain is pretty big and there is a big rose garden surrounding it. It's really pretty now because all of the flowers are in bloom.
We had a hard time thinking of what color to paint this built in book shelf in our living room. We wanted it to stand out. We finally decided to paint it a wood color. We picked something that matched other wood in the room (I think I mentioned this in my last post). It has a faux wood effect. We got the idea from watching HGTV. Anyway this is how it turned out.
Our living room is pretty bright!
