Murphy's Law and water lines

[Mike CHS]

We got some major things done this past week so I'm updating what appears to have become my Journal.

We were having a hard time at work getting badges and clearances at work so rather than wait in SC by the phone, we spent 6 days on our little farm and got a bunch of work done. Finally got the city water piped into the house and were finally able to take a shower with running water instead of glasses of water out of buckets. We ran our well water line in the same trench but in the opposite direction for the pasture. We now have well water out to half of the pasture and will get the other half after our pole barn shop gets done in the next month or so. My bride made me promise to spend more time inside this trip and we got the stair rail and kitchen appliances/fixutes put in and working. The camp stove got put out in the shed.

The 1st picture shows the bare 2x4 steps. The door to the left was the bathroom door that had a vinyl curtain for a door. The kitchen stove was directly next to that so that opening had to go. I put the bathroom door in what is now the panty and did a knee-wall for the steps.

Wow!

My goodness the transformation is amazing!
Absolutely beautiful!

I bet you guys had a near celebration having a REAL shower!

Kitchen looks great and love how you redid the stairwell!

We had gotten so used to "bucket" showers that I almost refilled all those 5 gallon things the next morning out of habit.

My wife isn't the builder but she is the one that always come up with the ideas on how I should do it. Works for us and it's fun working with your best friend.
