Plumbing

So our new plumber has been working on putting in the underground plumbing for 6 days now, it's taking a longer than originally anticipated. The problem is the middle part of the foundation was poured too deep into the ground and it's making it really tough to drill a hole through it from one side of the house to the other side to accommodate for a waste water pipe drainage. According to the plumber, the job would have been done two days ago if the aforementioned problem hadn't occurred. If the previous plumber had the foresight to put a plastic sleeve in the foundation before it was poured, all this could have been avoided. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

My toxic paint stripping days are on hold until further notice...Instead I am focusing my energy on gathering the Ikea kitchen cabinet list to take advantage of their kitchen sale this month. When we make a purchase of $2500 or more including three appliances, we will get a 20% discount!

We need to get the pipe to go through the foundation that runs down the center of the house.
