Can you please tell me how you removed the linoleum tiles from the hall. Do the tiles contain asbestos? I have a similar situation and am considering putting new hardwood over everything – sort of burying the problem, but would prefer the 19th century floors…
survey results tomorrow
Peter, do you have an equally hot and handy, but single, brother?
Great job and thanks for sharing it!
I know it’s a lot on the bathroom! But that’s what we got right now. Stay tuned for other developments.
As for the exposed pipes, that was intentional. G and I prefer that to seeing boxed-in pipes and soffits all over the place. You always know what’s inside the boxes! The pipes had actually been boxed-in to begin with, so we removed that. And we actually worked hard to leave the pipes as unpainted and raw as possible. We just like that look.

what happened to the survey results from last week?
I really like it. Anyone can go into a tile place and order tile and get someone else to install it. They used creativity, and came up with a unique pattern and then did it themselves. They have every right to be proud of it, and to linger over it. This is the best time to see it without toilets and sinks and tubs in the way.
Contrary to what someone said last video, I don’t think they will get tired of it soon. I’d be patting myself on the back everytime I walked in. I really like the black woodwork, too. If it’s going to be painted, I think the black definitely looks better than white would have – way too stark and antiseptic. Another good design choice.
Since they are both architects – somebody hire them, they obviously have talent. Looking forward to seeing the completed bathroom, as well as more of the rest of the house, as it gets done.
Please tell me you are going to cover up the no hub cast iron and the copper supplies!!!!
Tell your plumber to use all real chrome under the sinks including the supplies and make sure it is perfectly centered and spaced otherwise when you sit on the john it will drive you crazy.
