Week 3 - Thurs & Fri

Mmmm... the smell of freshly applied texture wafting through the house.

As we mentioned in the last entry, this week started of a little quiet but picked up on Wed with the drywall guys a-rockin' and a-scraping in the media room.  On Thurs, they continued repairing and prepping the drywall for texture in the media room and started scraping popcorn from the master bedroom ceiling.  The media room and master bedroom was textured on Friday.

This is the view that we found at the end of the day on Thurs.  The walls were swathed in plastic.  It made quite a decor statement.  The worse was that the ceiling fan was also wrapped in plastic which was bad as we like the airflow at night... even in winter.

Yeay!! No more popcorn in the bedroom and media room.

While the drywall guys were working in the media room on Thurs, the windows installers came to installed the new windows in the media room resulting in a lot of activity in the media room.

The new windows in the media room.  The old windows were in really bad shape.  The new windows are argon-filled, low-e efficient windows.

The drywall guys also had some company on Fri while they were working in the master bedroom.  The tub arrived late Thurs so the plumbers were in the master bath installing it.

The new tub.  It is a BainUltra Amma 66x36 tub.  It uses forced warm air to create a soothing bubbling action and the air also heats the backrest.  This eliminates the issues of maintaining a whirlpool tub and eliminates the bacteria risk that they have.

It was quite a discussion this morning trying to figure out where to put the faucet, handles and hand shower.  The handles actually rotate 180 degrees and are fairly large in size.  The hand shower is also fairly large the hose connecting it to the diverter is limited.  Well, you can see where the hand shower and the handles will be.  The faucet is in the corner just to the right of the handle.  The control for the air jets was also installed.

Andy had a meeting with the tile guys, the architect  and the project manager to discuss the tile layout. Hopefully, the tiling will start on Mon and should take about four days.  Again, there might be a scheduling conflict with the drywall guys as they have to finish texture in the master bath.

To end the week, Andy received the written estimate for replacing the pool equipment... new variable speed pump, new larger DE filter and adding a new sweeper.  He gave the go ahead so the Swamp Thing will have to find a new home soon.

Til next week.
