Kitchen Tile & Beadboard

Today we started to install the Hardy Backer board for the subway tile.  We have a couple of small piece to go, however we are holding until the new vent arrives, it was ordered yesterday from Home Depot, our new best friend.  IMG_2405

Tomorrow Revere Gas comes for the final installation of the new gas stove.

IMG_2406We applied for our electrical permit today at the County office, the final will come with the pool final.  Of course all of the electrical work is complete with the exception of the final hook ups.

No trip to Home Depot or Lowe’s today but I did have to go to M&M Building Supply to buy a carbide saw blade for cutting the hardy board.

Some new outlets

Today was a beautiful day at the the Cottage.  We decided to pull back one of the old 20 amp lines that ran to the old base board electric heat in the living room.  Pat when under the house while I cut the drywall and drilled the first hole, she then pushed the rerouted line up to the outlet.  We then proceed to daisy chain 4 more outlets.  After completion of all wiring I rewired the 2 phase line to a single phase and reduced the breaker size from 20 amp to 15 amp.  We also replace several of the old non-grounded outlets with new receptacles but still ungrounded.  While Pat was in the crawl space we also rerouted the old line for the baseboard in the kitchen eating area for the dedicated line for the new gas stove.  This line was also changed in the breaker box from 2 phase to a single phase but will remain 20 amp as required by the manufacturer.
