'Twas the Week After Christmas...

The home improvement project had to pause during the holiday, as we were blessed to have Aubrey's parents, sister, and brother-in-law, and all the pets in our home for Christmas.  This also meant cleaning all the lovely dirt and dust we kicked up, but it was worth it.  We had a lovely Christmas.

The day after Christmas, the house was again attacked.  Vahid and Dad, with some very appreciated help from Uncle Larry, completely took out and put in all drainage and source plumbing.  That's right.  All the cast iron drainage pipes were taken out, and all new copper and PVC were installed.  Two and a half days of very hard work.  Mom and Aubrey kept the cookies coming.

 All the way back to the pipe in the basement, but save that one!!

The old coal bin wooden wall was taken out of the basement, and now it is so bright down there.

All the pipes out, means in go the new pipes.

Vahid loves taking pictures of things that will never be seen for quite some time.  

Like, looking at the office from the drainage hole for the toilet.

Taking a break for cookies and jello.  Thank you Aunt Donna!

Extra wood is placed to help support the beams with holes in them.

 Who doesn't love jacking up the ceiling?

Now, we have all new plumbing in our home.  Incredible.  Thank you, thank you to all who helped!
