Well I didn’t get the time to post like i wanted to. There has been alot of hectic stuff going on as many can imagine with an old house.
Lets start with the bedroom, we finished demolishing the walls, got insulation up and pretty much finished the Sheetrock. I say pretty much because we are waiting on a few pieces because one windows leaks a little so after we get our windows in we will fix the opening and put up the 2 last pieces. We have the taping done and most of the sanding, I think there is one more coat on the walls and we will be done. I have some pics of the progress.
I also did the electrical outlets for the bedroom and they all worked the first time 
This has been the fun part, now for the other side of owning a home. Within the first few days of living here our shower started draining slowly and after a few days it did not drain at all. After flushing the toilet one day it backed up in the tub. Our first thoughts were that the pipe going to the road was broken or had issues with roots from the tree out front. As it turned out it was actually a pipe inside, the main sewer pipe and was fixed but not after costing $300.00
The second major problem we have had is the other day we decided to try and change out our shower fixtures in the bathroom downstairs because of low water pressure. We had trouble unscrewing some of the pipes so we left it for another day and decided to use the upstairs shower instead for a bit. Well after a few minutes in the shower Heather comes running upstairs telling me to shut the water off. There was water raining down from our kitchen light. So in just a towel I ran downstairs to turn off the breaker to the kitchen and water to the upstairs. I may have left out that the water was off going upstairs because we still had a small drip in the pipe in the basement. The plumber came the next night and seemed to have fixed it for now, he still has a few loose ends to fix before the whole project is done but we are in pretty good shape right now. I also have another plumber coming to finish changing out the fixtures in the downstairs bathroom tonight.
Well I know I just put alot of info in this one long post but I had to get it out of my head before it all became a blur. There is still more I need to post about like my basement light project but I will save that for next post and try to keep up with updating. Hopefully it wont get too crazy around here.
