President's Day Weekend - Day 3!

Most of the day was spent plumbing the bathroom sink.  When we demolished the old bathroom, we had to remove all the plumbing.  The sink is also in a new location (the old location is now part of the kitchen!) so many hours were spent running the new pipes.  

James got the sink in!  Now he's working on the toilet!


Here's James cleaning the old wax off the poop pipe!  Ewww!


Look!  A magical little elf is hiding under the sink!


Voila!  It is done!  We have some minor stuff to do - hang a mirror and cabinet, caulk the toilet, finish the baseboard, etc.  All in all, a good day!  We can now use this bathroom!  I also want to point out on what a bargain this bathroom was for us!  We reused the toilet the old owners had in their bathroom (it was purchased in 2006!  Why get a new one?).  I found the vanity and sink on FREECYCLE - so that vanity was FREE!!!!  WOOOHOOOO!!!!  It was pretty much brand new, but someone who just bought a condo conversion wanted a more trendy sink so they were giving this away!  A big score for us!  Even the soap dispenser was practically free thanks to a JC Penney coupon I had!  There is a little bit of Bargain Becky in Becky the Builder!
