First, I finished up with this stuff:
...which was an itchy, uncomfortable job, but not a hard one. The last little bit in the area under the water heater remains to be done, but it doesn't involve insulation UNDER the floor joists (because the joists are sitting right on the slab at that point), so it'll take me five minutes or so, once we drain and move the water heater. Which we need to do soon, because...
The subfloor is almost all down! :D Only two sheets remain to be installed; the aforementioned bit-under-the-water-heater, and the tricky bit with the cut around the chimney, which you can see just up there to the right.
Dad took the day off to work on his house Friday, which means he thinks he'll be able to help me Saturday (and maybe, wonder of wonders, Sunday! We could build a WALL!). The plan is to drain and move the water heater, insulate and subfloor under it, stick a scrap of linoleum underneath, and put everything back. Oh, and fix the leaky valve, which means turning off the water to the house again, but hopefully not for long. *knock on laminate*
The leaky valve is why there's a towl in this picture of the unfinished corner:
It's not a bad leak, but I'll breathe easier once it's been dealt with. Also visible in this picture: the Roland Cube amp that we've been hooking up to our phones to supply the nessecary workin' tunes, my extremely bedraggled official plan, and the shortly-to-be-demolished wall between the laundry room and garage.
(What's that, you ask? You're taking down finished walls, now?)
IF Dad can work with me on Sunday, we'll be building a NEW interior wall. See the lumber showing between the pink insulation, right by the amp/extension cord/plan combo? That's the end of the wall betwixt kitchen and living room. We'll build the new laundry/studio wall even with that, and knock the old laundry/garage wall down, thus magically moving the water heater from studio to utility room without actually moving it, and more importantly, clearing the way for a future expansion of the kitchen into the laundry room space.
Planning!
