So I started tearing down some walls to make an open floor plan type of house. Open floor between kitchen and livingroom, and making a master bedroom and turning the old dining room into a master bathroom. It will still be a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home. As you can see lots of work left to do, new dual pane argon gas windows, custom douglas fir doors and much more. Yesterday I spent 23k on Thermador appliances and bathroom hardware on black friday. It's going to be so awesome when its done. Can't wait to show you guys what I bought and how it will all come together in a spanish revival/transitional way.

Is this the same spot where you park your Wraith?

No, thats a craftsman house that has a big parking lot so I use it to store my cars. This house is in the same city but several blocks away. This too will be a rental.

Last year I had my electricians re-wire the entire house, which is kind of redundant now since I've decided to reconfigure some of the rooms so I will re-do some of it myself. Plumbing I already installed a new sewer line to the street and I discarded all traces of galvy pipe for the water and gas. Water is now 1 inch to 3/4 comming in and then to 1/2 inch pex. Gas will be 1 inch down to 3/4 black oxide. So yes everything is getting replaced and upgraded. I just installed a tankless water heater so that automatically need 3/4 black oxide for gas.

Are you guys allowed to do your own plumbing in the US?
