March 22nd

So on my list of things to do from the inspector:

Run the sump pump outside 5 ft from the house
Install a grabable handrail to the basement instead of the 2x4 on there now.
Replace bad GFI outlet
Reverse Hot/Cold in downstairs shower
Caulk tub
Reattach tiles
Secure toilet
Low water pressure in shower
Fix ground wire in upstairs bedroom
Add one outlet in upstairs bedroom

Today I mostly worked on getting the sump pump hooked up and my other outlet.  I also put on the hand rail, but that was a 2 minute job.  I went and bought a dehumidifier to help with the mildew in the basement.  Its running and taking a lot of water out of the air.   Bucket was half-full after being plugged in for 6 hours.  Installing the sump pump wasnt as hard as I thought, although it did invovle me slithering through the icky crawlspace.  Something I've been able to avoid for the past months.  I can now say I've been in every nook and crannie in this house. 

Although it wasnt on the list, I installed the dryer vent in the downstairs laundry.  I had the drill bits out and was poking holes in the wall so I figured why not.
