Rain Creek Farm David has returned to work on the farmhouse kitchen. Here the counter supports are nearly ready for the countertops. But first a section of floor must be replaced. (09.13.04) |

Rain Creek Farm With the floor repaired, the solid wood butcher block countertops are cut and fitted, but not yet attached. (09.14.04) |

Rain Creek Farm David pulled the 1940's cast iron kitchen sink out of the shed and put it on sawhorses so that it could be cleaned up and plumbing fixtures installed. Before this picture was taken, the sink was upside down so that the countertop openings could be fitted. (09.16.04) |

Rain Creek Farm The countertops are attached and ready for the sink to be installed. The 2x4 supports are necessary to hold the very heavy sink that weighs somewhere around two hundred pounds. (09.17.04) |

Rain Creek Farm With assistance from Linda, David got the sink dropped into the countertop. Next is plumbing. When finished there will be cabinets that match the originals. (09.23.04) |

Rain Creek Farm David completed the above floor plumbing that stubs out a foot beneath the floor. The original sink was cold water only. Although the pipes are all new, both the cold water and waste pipes are in the same position as the originals. David planned on having water running by Friday night but got himself wedged under a house beam twenty-three feet from the crawlspace access and ten feet short of the connections after pushing through the last ten feet on his back. The next (last) beam looked even lower, so a trench will need to be dug under the last two beams or another plan made Saturday. (09.24.04) |

Rain Creek Farm That's running water! Next is caulk, counter oil, window trim, backsplash trim around the countertop and paint. (09.25.04) |
