Status: Floor


Waiter, there's a hole in my floor!

In order to move the bar sink to its new location in a freestanding island, we (okay, the plumbers) had to move the hot, cold, and drain pipes into the middle of the room. That requires pulling up some floorboards, the result of which you see here.

The floor is redwood tongue-and-groove. The boards don't really want to come up, so the guys cut the tongues off, so to speak, and pried up the boards from one end. That exposed the floor joists and gave them room to bury the water pipes, which they finished doing today.

In the meantime, we've got this ankle trap in the middle of the room. With a nice view of more knob-and-tube wiring below.
