So here we are, almost a full week in and we are pretty much no further along than we were Friday morning. The ceiling is mostly scraped and the mudding of the existing sheetrock has begun, but that is about it.
With all that time on our hands, Jon was starting to go a bit nutty so I looked up installation of our floors and discovered that we do have some work to do there. So Jon was under the house this afternoon shimming the underflooring and getting rid of the big sag in the middle. It's almost all flat now! Next we are going to sand and lay some thicker roofing felt down on the low spot we couldn't raise and then use thinner roofing felt as an underlayment for the whole thing and (fingers crossed) by the time we have done all that, the plumber will have rerouted the pesky pipes and John the friendly ceiling guy will have fixed up all the sheet rock and we will be ready to paint and lay the floor.
The plumber never called today so I guess he couldn't make it. Really hoping he can get it all done tomorrow. The fridge is being delivered Friday and I would so love to have the floor down by then, or at the very least have finished painting!
On the funnier side, we noticed on Sat that the dryer was venting into the kitchen ceiling space. Turns out that the vent wasn't attached to the pipe in the ceiling space, which was correspondingly FULL of dryer lint. All fixed now and for the first time you can smell the laundry outside when the dryer is on. Who knows how long that has been going on.
So there are two postives to everything moving so slowly. We have found and fixed a dryer problem and had time to figure out how to flatten the floor in the kitchen pretty cheaply. Whoo Hoo.
I'm done with the delays now though thanks. Time to move forward.
