Electrical Updates for the Mulberry House
Some electricians came over this week to update and prettify our electrical system, as well as wire new dedicated circuits for the range and fridge.
Deciding on a Mill House Kitchen Plan
Now that the gun safe is gone, I'm finally able to play around with how to layout the kitchen. I had a plan that worked great on paper, but in the actual space, I'm not so sure.
A New Downtown Luxury Roof
After initial inspections and structural examination of the Downtown Luxury Slum when we bought it, the conclusion was that we didn't need to do any work on the roof. But we were suspicious so we did allocate a fair bit of extra contingency money in case the roof needed work. And that money all got used replacing the back half of our roof, which is a flat rubber roof. After one hurricane season, it became clear that the front roof was not in perfect condition either. But it took us until now to finally bite the bullet and get the historic metal roof replaced.
The Safe is Gone!
It took nearly 4 hours of work and 2 months of preparation (aka persistently pestering the previous owner/seller) but the 1319 gun safe is finally out of the Mulberry House.
Slow and Steady Progress
The last couple of weeks have been filled with lots of cleaning and preparing and random small tasks that they don't show on HGTV.
A Custom Coffee Table
We finally have a beautiful custom copper coffee table for our Downtown Luxury Slum.
Fixing the Plumbing
Stopping leaks is a new form of censorship. - Julian Assange. But also wood floors, cleaning, and meeting with general contractors.
The Sandwich Approach
The best tool for cleaning gutters, advanced drainage solutions, our first plumbing problem, lock picking, and lead paint.
