Field Modification #1-bUpon further review of last week's blog post, there were several comments and concerns about the plumbing connections, specifically the 2" drain into the 4" sanitary elbow that warranted a second look. With the review and recommendations of a Professional Engineer, a new modified plumbing layout has been started using all stock plumbing connections. Currently the new layout is laying on the old layout ready for installation this weekend.
Pieces Part 1The quest for a vanity has finally come to rest with the arrival of the new Crate and Barrel catalogue. With some minor modifications made to the sideboard piece illustrated above, a new vanity will emerge. We made a mock up bathroom setting with a bowl for the future vessel sink and a candlestick for the future faucet. In the end, this option will still be cheaper than the stock cabinet and countertop at the big box home improvement warehouses.
We also have found and purchased the faucet to go with the vanity. We are still on the hunt for the vessel sink and lighting. We have a mirror picked out until something better comes along.
Not much progress was made on the bathroom because we headed to Toledo for a few side tasks. Helping Amy move into her new apartment on Saturday and celebrating Lexi's 8th birthday on Sunday. Lexi loved her birthday presents of Mt. Dew and Hello Kitty bag filled with goodies.
We returned home to inspect the garden which was subject to a monsoon on Saturday afternoon and found that the garden loved the rain. Too bad that the rain barrel has yet to be connected to the downspout to collect the rain this time. The sweet banana peppers will be the first vegetable harvest made from the garden besides the lettuce. They went from little nubbins to actual peppers over the course of a week.
