Day 10: Work of the Irish, Killeen Plumbing

This is one of those days when it's better to hear about something possibly than actually see it. I came home from an early morning errand to hear a familiar voice call my name from the depths of our basement. It was Quinn Killeen, from Killeen Plumbing. He did the plumbing in our master bath redo when we first moved in and it is quite a nice master bath. Since he was in our basement, it must have meant the first hole in the foundation walls would be made to tie the new garage drain into the sewer pipe. It's sort of like ripping a bandaid off, you know it's going to happen. Who better than Quinn to do it? They went right to it while I ran out to do another errand. This is the hole looking out from the basement through the wall to under the porch. See the leg to the left of the hole? In short time the pipe was fitted through and closed up with cement. The actual tie in won't be until later in the project. One hole down, one to go. Hopefully we won't find chipmonks building a new home under my painting table!






Demolition of the garage started today as well. The garage door opener was removed earlier and then the door itself was removed and all the interior wall board. There was all kinds of 'stuff' flying around. The amazing thing though, is at the end of the day, even the garage floor was swept of debris.
