Today I got back to work on the house after a long hiatus. Life's been a bit crazy for a while. It hasn't been much less crazy, I just need to force myself to get back to it. The photography business has been picking up in recent months and has kept me tied up as well as the day job and some travel.
Today I attacked the water pipes and drainage pipes. They were a mess inside and needed badly to go. Next up is to begin getting the sub floor in so the plumber can come in a take care of the plumbing for the bathroom and kitchen. Someday this project might actually get done, but I doubt it.
This is both bathrooms as they stand now, except the plumbing is gone. The toilet remain for...well, ya know, emergencies. Salinas has great burritos.
This is what the inside of the kitchen sink drain line looked like. This is 50+ years of build up. This is what your arteries look like when you smoke, eat fast food every day and watch too much TV. Quit looking at my filthy pipes and go for a walk.
It's a 2" pipe. Gross. That stuff is hard as a rock too.
Plumbing. Done.
Old cast iron drain pipe. Heavy stuff but doesn't stand up to a sledge.
Anyone need some asbestos?
I was peeling back some sheetrock and the top layer of wall paper came off and revealed what mush have been the original wallpaper from 1960.
It was either make some progress in the house or cut down 6 1/2 foot tall weeds. The weeds will wait. Welcome to the jungle.
