Albert, working in the ceiling chase, wrenching steel pipe fittings together.
At the right side of the fireplace, Albert from Custom Plumbing chisled out the open chase behind the brick. He removed the old gas line that no longer meets code and installed a new run of steel pipe, working across the family room ceiling, turning the pipe 90 degrees and traveling down the chase.
Looking down into the chase. Rubble at the bottom of the chase, from chiseling out the brick — to be removed before the mason patches the brick.Cris from Ranserve today installed the frames for the pocket doors to bath 3 upstairs, right, and to the laundry room, left.Cris also installed the pocket door frame to the master closet. This is a style of frame that permits the nailing of shelf supports into the plywood sheathing — this will be important in the master closet — unlike the open web of lumber that cannot be nailed at the pocket door frames to the bath 3 and the laundry room.And … Cris, who just does not stop, also nailed into place the frame for the pocket door entry to the master bedroom.With hours to go and power tools to put to work, downstairs, Cris also began hanging the plywood backing that will help support the bookshelves planned for the library.To the left of the fireplace, a new short wall is framed into place, replacing a brick wall and an extension of the brick hearth that were removed several days back by the demo team.
