It's been too long since I've updated the blog. To tell the truth, I haven't been good at keeping up with email either. We've been too busy! It's been more than two months since we started the major remodel of the rental.
After tearing down all the walls and removing the insulation (prior post) there was the task of building new interior walls, not only for the bathroom but also for re-routing the plumbing for both the kitchen and bath, which was mostly external before. The city required that we have a electrical contractor do the wiring. He finished the rough-in less than two weeks ago. After the electrical and building inspections we got straight to work installing new insulation. Then we hung sheetrock and are now taping and mudding the joints. Keep in mind that we're doing this while working our regular jobs - which takes Larry out of town 3 days a week. Also, we're doing this in 85 - 99 degrees with varying degrees of humidity. Actually, the humidity has only become an issue in the last couple weeks. Prior to that we'd been dry for many weeks.
So - here are some photos. Things will probably start moving along quickly now and I'll try to take photos and get them posted.

We've come a long way baby - and there's more to go!
