I finished up with the painting on the main level of Lisa's house as it slowly becomes ready for move in time. I also removed all the doors on the main level and downstairs in preparation for the installation of new doors which will be delivered soon. Then after the new doors & casings are installed I will continue painting them, and the entire downstairs.

I worked on two fairly large projects this past week. I completed Lisa's attic access door/ladder installation. I discovered a wire running right through the attic door opening I cut in the ceiling drywall. This was unexpected, and complicated things a little bit, but I was able to re-route the wire fairly easily around the opening due to extra slack in the wire. To re-route the wire I had to remove more floor boards in the attic than originally planned. I was also able to re-route another wire that was just running openly on top of the floor boards underneath the floor boards as well. I also felt that one of the ceiling joists supporting the new attic door wasn't sound enough to support all the extra weight and traffic going up the ladder, and the ceiling was sagging a little bit. I used my adjustable support poles to jack up the ceiling a little, and then strung a 2x4 from the joist up to the rafter above to give it more support. That 2x4 also acts as something to hold on to while going up into the attic. Then I framed & blocked in more support for the floor boards as well. To keep the the new access insulated I installed a new cover over the top of it. Finally I installed, caulked filled nail holes, then painted the trim around it, and that door.

At my friend Trevor's place the tiling of his tub/shower continues with the tiling of the back and left side walls. Next I'll be tiling the plumbing wall, and then install all the tiles around the perimeter where the two sides will finish out with Satin Nickel aluminum bull nosing, as well as bull nosing on the front of the tub deck edge. The tricky part of this tile job is laying out the tile so some of the veining in the patterns line up so it flows better. Trevor is also an incredible Electrician. Some of my clients have used him, and he has done an amazing job for them.
