Rough plumbing in both apartments is almost completed! Seen above is part of the bathroom in Apartment 2; drains and feed lines.
HVAC equipment has been lugged upstairs and most of it has been moved into the apartment attics. I'll save you the trouble of asking 'Where are the attics?"
Here ~
This shows just Apartment 2's attic. The ceiling in the hallway and bathroom/laundry room is only 8 feet high. A similar treatment is being used in the same areas of Apartment 1.
In Apartment 1, the new ceiling framing is being installed.
Stage 1
Stage 2Back at home, we're cleaning up the doors which will be used for the bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen pantries. These doors have been here since 1876, and we don't see any reason to get rid of them now. They just need a little TLC and a fresh coat of paint. Under the blue and the green and the peach and the cream layers, we've discovered the original painted grain surface. Unfortunately, we don't have the skill or time to preserve it.
Down in the basement, the last piece a huge, HEAVY furnace is sitting quietly, waiting for Hercules to come back and finish ripping its guts out and hauling it away. This was a really awful job, but necessary to allow construction of a new exit from the basement. We think Hercules is quite a guy! Thanks, Ryan!!

Eeeeww! Bathroom plumbing and goopy paint remover.
Don't know if this is up your alley or not, but just found out that Green Building Supply in Fairfield sells what appears to be the best low-water toilet available today. Uses less than half the water of regular low-water toilets, but never plugs! Very sensible Australian design. See here.
