    All in fun my friend I didn’t take it any other way!:thumbs:

    It turned into one big project mainly because I couldn’t get to the wiring without taking down the bathroom ceiling:loco: :crazy: old house poor design... I’m going to make a decent size access hole so I can get up there in a few weeks...

    Tomorrow we seal the grout then hopefully Sunday start moving in the vanity, washer dryer and shop sink along with the other essentials. We’d like to be done with al that by Tuesday and possibly have the closet shelving done too.....

    At the end of my vacation time and I’ve done a lot!

    Today I ran water to the shop sink and vanity then ran power for the washer and dryer. The ultimate plan is to upgrade the washer and dryer to an industrial stacked unit however we ran out of budget. That’s ok though because it’s all functional now. We will use the old ones for a while longer they fit better than expected!

    I cleaned and I think MAYBE... Fixed the washer for now it seems to be working better anyways. Still nails on a chalkboard and bangs like a shotgun but it works so.....

    The wife was VERY happy when I said the washer and dryer where hooked up.... We have been going to the laundromat and neighbors to do laundry.... she was even happier after the medicine cabinet and closet got functional!
    :dex::dex:

    As you can see we are playing catch-up on laundry today...:rofl: :lol: 2 months of laundromat over.... Once the temps dropped the garage setup was useless and I had to winterproof the washer.:(

    Things left to do.
    Grout under the toilet.
    Install recepticals.
    Install closet bifold doors.
    Install trim.
    Install kickboards.
    Caulk tub by the floor and ceiling.
    Trim out window frame.

    Yes that’s a litter box the cat moved up in the world too:hair:

    X2 ^^

    Yeah, laundromat's s#@k.

    I've had a washer/dryer nearly all my life, as I despise laundromat's.

    Bought and sold around 5 or 6 over my younger years. Was always worth it to me.

    Thanks!

    I finished the wall outlets and plate covers tonight you can really see the difference in the room now. Funny how that little step makes such a big difference.

    For me, just one more reason to avoid the laundromat.

    But I understand the position you were in.

    I'd just not want to be the person doing the next load in that washer.
