Basement Progress

 Jess, Mike and Dustin cut the cement out so the plumber could move around the pipes in the bathroom that way the living room can be a bit bigger.  They used a gas saw so I was lucky enough to go roam the mall and get a manicure, some earrings and of course a snack!  They also had the most darling baby girl clothes at Dillards!! Turned out it was a good thing I left because the gas saw set off our alarms and the police came to make sure everyone was alright!! At least we know the alarms work!

pipes before

pipes after

Jess then shoveled out all the tiny rocks to expose the pipes for the plumber to work on. You can see the 4 bins full in the top picture!!
