We did some work at the new house today. It was raining, so we couldn’t really do any yard work, much as there is to get done, so we finished cleaning out the little shed in the back, taking another load to the dumps, and finding the final bag of clothing to wash and get sorted. When we had the shed empty and swept, we put in all the stuff the grandkids use when they come — the bikes, car, bouncing horse, etc, as well as the new basketball hoop, wading pool, etc that we found here. That cleared out a lot of space in the garage, so we began organizing that. We got some new shelves put up, mostly. Then we worked on the water and, ta-da, we now have running hot and cold water and a toilet that flushes. Yea! Now we don’t have to run home every few hours. I also started taking down doors and door trim.

At this house, we have the bathroom all ready for the plumber who is coming Tuesday, we hope. We decided to go with a corner toilet and a regular wall hanging sink. They look like they will fit just fine, with enough room to move from one to the other. The door will open out, which gives a bit more room inside. Dad still has to do some wiring and run the vents up there, but he didn’t want to do that today. Maybe tomorrow.
