That was Thursday. Friday was probably another 10 hrs. We're slowing down. Got here at noon today Tongue

We're paying for it now.

I see no other way to justify new plumbing/electrical service to the house than to accidentally remove it with a PTO rototiller.

Sell them to Painter.  I can't justify a blower, mine comes with a blade and ballast box.

Just a question...why did you feel it necessary to double up on the sub flooring?

We're not. The top layer is us. The stuff under that is original. My floor is 9/32, my plywood is 15/32.

The gap from my dining room floor to the original floor is 3/4

Turns out I bought the right thickness of plywood Cheesy

Also, I think this was M.C. Escher's house.

There's not one outlet or switch plate that is straight.

Even the two doors on the fridge (side by side) are off.

Does nobody care about stuff like this?

I did. Sort of. I used a needle as a depth gage when we did the final walk through before closing.

Probably yes but I cheated and marked the depth with my thumb nail and tape measured to that Grin
