On to house #3! The new challenge: take a 1940, 2700 sq. ft. two-story federal style house in Arlington, VA and turn it into a 4600 sq. ft. house with a modern twist. Back to construction zone living!

Kitchen shuffle
We removed the remaining half of the kitchen to a temporary spot. The old kitchen gets totally demo'd tomorrow and a half bath gets framed in its place. We'll leave the gas hookup for our stove so we don't have go without one for a few months. The next few weekends of work for us will be painting the exterior of the house and finishing up the remaining replacement windows.
We have most of the material for the electrical and plumbing rough in. For plumbing we're using a home run pex manifold system. It's very efficient and relatively easy to install. Pex is flexible tubing that has special crimp connections. More on that in a few weeks when we start rough in.
