Upstairs Bathroom Sinks Complete

We got the granite for the sinks the day before Sam was born. Needless to say, we were a little later installing it than we anticipated. Finally, this weekend we got around to it and we have working sinks again.
 First, we attached the back splash to the wall and the granite below. Then, Tyler hooked up all the plumbing while keeping an eye on Sam.
 We got the granite out in Granite Falls. They glued the sinks in for us and cut everything according to Tyler's template. Since we only needed one piece and it didn't have to match anything, we saved a lot of money by choosing a remnant.
 When we originally installed the plumbing in the wall, we had not designed the sink unit yet. So, as you can see, there is a bit of a discrepancy in how things line up. However, you can only see this from in the tub so it doesn't matter too much.
With this last project, the bathroom is almost complete. Only a few paint touch ups and making doors for the lower closet left.

Upstairs Bathroom Plumbing Moved

 Our bathroom used to have one very small sink in the corner so we had to move the plumbing to another wall and set it up for two sinks. First step was cutting off the drywall and the top layer of linoleum and plywood.
 Once everything was unhooked and opened up, the pipes we rerouted through the studs in the adjacent wall with a little pitch so it will drain.
 The water was turned back on and we had a minor leak the first time at the decorative chrome pipe that sticks out so we had to reseal it. We still need to move the electrical but it is nice to have a functioning sink in the bathroom. We also need to patch the drywall but we'll do this after all the electrical work is complete.
