Tough times call for tough measures. And this yea Tough times call for tough measures. And this year has been a year of a lot of “firsts”. Our plumber is running severely behind because he is so busy and then last Tuesday we learned the whole plumbing crew came down with Covid. They hadn’t been on our job site for nearly a week and we are always in masks and social distance on the job site when others are working. So this week we shut the job site down at Pinocchio until yesterday. Scott needed to work on prepping for AC install and I am just going to admit it, I was in a horrible, cranky, mood about the slow down so what did I do? Grabbed a hand sledge, a flashlight, a crow bar, a Sawzall, and a mask and went under the house. And wouldn’t you know it, after about 6 hours under the house, I had all the old cast iron, gas lines and remaining water lines cut out. It was a first and a last but NEVER count out a determined woman, lol! Never! This is what you really look like when you work on a house. It isn’t pretty friends. This house WILL get done! And we hope our plumbing friends get well soon! And for those of you that have gotten high bids to remove old cast iron lateral and drain lines, it is a horrible job and worth every dollar they charge. #girlboss #dontmess #progress #takethat#pinocchiohouse #notoldyet
Pinocchio House update - electrical is 99.5% compl Pinocchio House update - electrical is 99.5% complete and will wrap up tomorrow. New sewer line and water line is in and passed inspection. Upon digging the lateral line we discovered the gas line had been replaced in the yard however we are replacing all the line in the house. All new plumbing is in progress. Upper windows inserts are on order. We are pushing this project along as fast as we can. Wiring a Cliff May home has been a bit of a challenge because of the framing and post and beam construction but our awesome electrician hung in there with us and now this home has ALL new wiring!
It has been a few weeks since an update and we are It has been a few weeks since an update and we are so sorry. We have been heads down working on multiple projects. But this last week was a little tough. Sophie has been running errands with me because last Friday her big sister crossed the the rainbow bridge. After 14.5 years our sweet Silly Lilly who was our matriarch finally had a week when her body sadly gave out and we had to make the horrible decision to send her over the rainbow bridge. Scott and I had been dating for a few months when we adopted her. Somehow we knew we were going to get married and this was the dog we needed. And she was our greatest love! She hung in there with us through lots of renovations and so many other momentous life events. We miss her desperately and are doing our best to keep Sophie busy. Sophie has now been on the jobsite and running lots of errands. We did our best at a selfie running errands. We are trying to adjust to the new normal.
We had a super exciting day today. All the window We had a super exciting day today. All the windows at the Pinocchio house are installed! Upper celestial windows get insulated glass in a couple weeks from our glass and mirror folks. Let’s talk about these windows. I debated with myself for weeks on what to do with these windows. And many of you helped me by sending me drawings and dimensions of the original Cliff May windows. Thank you! I chose to go with a top sliding window in keeping with the original style. By doing this, the windows do not crank out and take up patio space around the pool. The divider between the upper windows and lower window was placed as close as we could to the original Cliff May window divider. I did remove the middle divider on the bottom window because I wanted as much light as possible pouring into this home. Cliff May was genius because he put the horizontal divider higher than many MCM homes have. With a higher divider between the top and bottom windows you can see out the window when sitting on furniture with no divider obstructing the view. Yes, we did indeed test this before we placed our final order. As always, I love our crew. Michael Nied from Grand Openings and Hansen Construction on installation. These guys are amazing and knocked it out of the park again!
