Renovation Day Two 16.01.

Floor support added in the bathroom (which is great, cause the whole thing was about to fall in) and more bricks exposed on the dining room fireplace. We have to start thinking about what floor to use in the kitchen and bath. Saturday, we are making a trip to Harrison Brothers. They have a collection of salvaged wood for people to use when renovating houses…so hopefully we’ll find something there. I’m not 100% opposed to laying new wood floors, but I would love to find some that were already a bit worn so they’ll blend in a little bit better than *bam* brand new floors.

The plumbing is just about finished. We got a new hot water heater, so it’s only a matter of time before the floors go in, and the walls go up. Our stove is being delivered on the 22nd. Most likely it won’t be ready to be installed, which is ok because Chico can hook it up when they are finished with the kitchen work.

Yesterday, Andy and I went to price appliances, toilets, sinks, showers, and tubs. We really only got to two places…Home Depot and Lowe’s. I don’t know of any places that specialize in showers and tubs, except one in Scottsboro. They have the tub we first fell in love with, but we discovered Lowe’s carries claw-foot tubs for a bit cheaper.
