The brick layers called this morning to say they're going to start tomorrow morning. That's fine. Technically, they're still coming earlier than what we originally talked about, which was May 12.
The spa tub and the garage bathroom shower will be delivered tomorrow afternoon.
I had thought we addressed everything that needs to be done before the bricks., but I was wrong. While I was having dinner with two friends Leslie and Ken tonight, another friend called to point out that I don't have a duct in place to vent the clothes dryer out the wall. Then I remembered that I don't have a duct for the exhaust fan over the stove either. So I picked up what I think I'm going to need from Home Depot. My plumber says he'll come by and install the one for the dryer tomorrow since he's coming by to install the tub & shower anyway.
That leaves the vent above the stove. If I had been thinking, I would have had that going out the roof before the shingles were laid. Now, I'd have to bust through the shingles to install the vent and flashing before repairng the shingles around it. I wonder if I can vent it straight out the wall? If so, I'm guessing I'll probably need to know exactly which hood vent I'm going to use so I can determine where to make the hole fot that vent.
So lesson learned: think more carefully about what venting you need in addition to plumbing before laying the bricks. Also, choose the range hood early so you know where & how the vent needs to be run.
