Floor went in super easy, I have experience installing flooring though, but with a table saw and a jigsaw, it was a breeze. I will be picking up a few pieces of lattice to paint black and I will start hanging that up. ---

Thanks! It was a lot harder than I originally planned because of the pool table. It’s a gandy “big g”. It’s 9’x 5’ so I had to extend every wall as far away from the table. I have 2 size shorty sticks for those tight shots, but for a $250 table and light, I did whatever I had to do to make it work. ---

Got a few things done over the weekend that I have been waiting to do since I moved in. My garage never had a man door on it and it always drove me nuts, well now I do have one. ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_1761_zps0de6aedf.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_1761_zps0de6aedf.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_1762_zps9f17d21e.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/IMG_1762_zps9f17d21e.jpg) Started dismantling the wall and rerouting my wires for my outlets, lights and flood light outside. Had to move my light switch and garage door opener as well.

Some more updates. Spending the better part of this awesome weekend in my basement with my gf’s brother ripping out my galvanized water lines and replacing them with CPVC lines.

The glue only takes 1 to 6 hours depending on hot and cold lines. I took a shower at my gf’s parents tonight and have a few 5 gallon buckets of water on hand for the toilets if needed. Ill turn the water on tomorrow morning and check it for leaks. As far as running them parallel, we didn’t do that because it was a wacky setup to begin with so I wasn’t about to waste pipe. I did also change out my slop sink faucet and started hooking up my RO system. Should finish it tomorrow. All cleaned out and ready for new pipe ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/05/9ehe6e6a.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/05/9ehe6e6a.jpg) After: ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/05/dy3y8equ.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/05/dy3y8equ.jpg) ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/05/garehu2e.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/05/garehu2e.jpg) ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/05/ha4emapu.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/05/ha4emapu.jpg) ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/05/hehetuhe.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/05/hehetuhe.jpg) ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/05/adydahu4.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/05/adydahu4.jpg) ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/05/vyrysupu.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/05/vyrysupu.jpg) The electrical is a tire fire right now.
