The plumber started working on roughing in the master bath and new laundry. After some discussion with him it was decided that I needed to move one of the new walls I put up last time. Luckily I was able to save most of the first one and reuse it, this saved me some time and sweat.
I've now finished framing everything in, the master bath and walk-in closet are now clearly defined. The laundry and master bedroom's secondary closet are all there too. I even tore out an old section of framing and put in a new wall and the master bedroom is all framed in.
Money is starting to run low and its clear I'll be going over budget. My original plan was to have someone come in and blow insulation into all of the exterior walls and roll some insulation out in the attic. I wanted to do this to keep as much of the plaster walls in tact as possible. Because of budgetary reasons, and the fact some of that plaster is in worse shape than I originally thought, I've decided I'll be deviating from the original plan. So, the new plan is tear all the plaster off the exterior walls on the 2nd floor and insulate it myself, do the attic myself, and deal with the 1st floor when I do the siding (sometime in the next year or two).
The new washer, dryer, tub, toilet, and sink all arrived in the last week or two, and tile for the master bath has been ordered. The tile should arrive sometime later this week. Hopefully I'll have the master bath and laundry completed in the next week or two. The master bedroom should be insulated and sheet rocked at that time as well. I'll then be able to gut the remaining two bedrooms and upper hallway, get all that insulated and sheet rocked.
Here's some pictures of all the framing and the start of the plumbing work. Look for more later this week/early next week.
