Today the girls worked hard painting Polka-Dots on K's bedroom walls to match her bedclothes, green blue purple and pink. I spent most my day in the kitchen, first wiring, plumbing and fitting the dishwasher, secondly fitting the microwave and wiring it in, third plumbing in the ice maker and water filter/chiller for the refrigerator. The ice maker plumbing required that I redo some previous work as the pipe appeared to far out from the wall and prevented the refrigerator from going back against the wall, this caused me to revisit my least favorite part of the crawlspace under the floor where there is barely enough room to fit under the duct work and you have to pull yourself through the dirt lying on your chest with your nose an inch from the stinky dust. The upside was though that I was able to use shark bight fittings (my new best friends) including a new stopcock which allowed me to downsize to quarter inch copper which is the standard for ice makers. After lunch I moved onto the bathroom, grouting the floor tiles, fitting the new sink faucets and fixing the drain so it flows freely. It did not rain at the cabin today but it seemed prudent to stay off the dirt as it was very soft from the 24 hours of rain from Saturday. I took a short break mid afternoon and raked the beach getting the new sand to settle down a little.
