As of Sunday afternoon, all we have to do is fit some new plywood into the space left by flooring we removed, and cut a hole in it, so as to move the toilet back (yes, a whopping two inches). Then cut and lay the cement board. That will be enough to let the plumbers do their job this weekend.
Our electrician, David, started today. He's replacing outlets and light fixtures and that sort of thing until he receives word from the city that he can re-do our fuse box or breaker panel or whatever those metal boxes are called these days. The biggest win was his replacement of our front exterior lantern.
As you suggested Uncle Buzz, we're going with the 200-amp service. David said, it'll prepare the house for whatever we or the next owners want to do with it. He also said, if we were going to install central AC ever, the 200-amp service was necessary.
We watered our front "lawn", too. Over the weekend, we put a mother lode of work into it. Here's what we started with, a horticultural graveyard...
...and in a couple weeks, we'll show you all that we did. You probably can't tell but a good portion of the greenery in the picture is weed in full repose. The work we put in is fantastic, but the results were not immediate. One day we hope it will begin to resemble the backyard.
