Day 81: April 6, 2011
Great day. Replaced the old cast iron soil stack with PVC, including a new boot for the vent pipe through the roof. The kitchen sink had not previously been vented (which must have made it drain slowly), so that problem will be solved.
This was the toughest part of the remaining plumbing work. The end is within sight.
Day 80: April 5, 2011
Finished the electrical in the kitchen. Mark took up all of the subfloor in the bathroom.

Day 79: April 4, 2011
Mark removed cement from the bathroom floor. It was at least two inches thick. We surmise that in a past renovation, or possibly over TWO past renovations, the cement was used to level the subfloor. We've decided to remove the old subfloor for both quality of the new floor, and also to allow full access for the new plumbing.
I finished the electrical circuits servicing the living room and dining room. Only the kitchen, bathroom and basement to go.

Day 76: April 1, 2011
Did lots of recycling and cleanup on Friday. It now feels as if there's more room to move.
Insulated the west bedroom closet and installed outlets upstairs. The electrical work upstairs is just two or three outlets away from completion and the work downstairs is more than half done.
Mark finished drywalling the west bedroom closet. Except for the bathroom, the upstairs is ready for mud and trim work.

Day 75: March 31, 2011
On Wednesday, Mark and I were both busy outside Martha, so no work was done. Four Angola High School students died in a car crash on Saturday, and the whole community---the high school in particular----is reeling. My sophomore daughter, MacKenzie, can't wait for this week to be over.
Back to work on Thursday. Got the GFCI circuit run in the kitchen. Mark and I both worked on drywall installation in the bedroom closets. Then Mark finished two on his own. Next we'll concentrate on the bathroom.
