Week Two, Day Two

Lots of news to report about the apartment today! Late this afternoon, Mom and Dad received the drawings for the cabinets in the kitchen and the butler's pantry. We have some revisions to discuss with the cabinetmaker, but they look good as a first draft. I have to make sure that everything is well planned out in my new kitchen!

Also, we have new plumbing! Today they drained down the hot and cold water risers in order to replace the shut off valves and the rough plumbing in the bathroom and kitchen. The shiny copper pipes are the new ones. I think they look nice and sturdy.

The contractor also seems to have coated the bathroom walls with some sort of blue stuff, maybe to prepare them for the cement backer board? I have no idea what it is. Dad says I can't lick it. I don't understand why not, I think it looks yummy.

Here's the kitchen floor. A waterproof membrane has been applied over the WonderBoard. Also, cardboard has been taped down over the cork underlayment in order to protect it until the hardwood flooring is installed. The new floors did not come in today, but hopefully it will be here soon. I can't wait to run around and chase my toys while sliding on the new wood.
