It has been awhile and the bathroom has come very far! So, I thought it was definitely time to give you a long overdue update on the bathroom renovation. I promise this week will be full of posts on the bathroom renovation and its progress.
So, where did we leave off. Oh yeah, duct work. Rewind to the month of February. Before we could hang drywall we needed to finish the duct work in the bathroom and relocate the water lines. The duct work installation wasn't nearly that bad. A couple of screws and sealant and we were done in a night.
The water line relocation, well, that had its ups and down. We found out that the valves in our condo and to the building are super old. We turned off the valves to our condo to do the relocation only to find out that the cold water valve was stuck shut and couldn't be turned back on. Hubs did as much of the water line relocation as possible but we couldn't test it out since we couldn't turn the cold water back on. So, he headed down under the building to attempt to turn the cold water off and see if he could do the valve work himself in our place. Well, come to find out, you couldn't even turn the water off to the building. A call to a plumber, a call to the condo later, the condo schedule someone to replace the valves to the building and we decided to have them replace our valves too while they were at it and the water lines were turned off. We tested our relocated lines to find out there was one small, itty bitty leak in one joint. Darn. But that didn't stop us. We decided we might as well install the drywall on the walls. We would hold off on installing the ceiling drywall until we could fix the little leak.
