Finishing up plumbing

We are going to have our plumbing top-out inspection on Tuesday. We have been finishing up our plumbing the last couple weeks.

We finished up the hose bibs. Don't they look nice? We have four around the outside of our house.

We put the floor drain in the master shower. There is a test cap in there, to test the sanitary line for leaks.

We finished up the upstairs bathroom and put in the toilet flange with a test cap. We also stubbed the lines up for the future bath/shower.

We tested the supply line with water and found a couple leaks in the shower valves. We just had to tighten them a bit and they were good. Today, we brought the pressure up to 100 psi.

Here's the pressure gauge. The pressure held, which means our lines are great. This is part of the inspection on Tuesday.

We did some cleaning yesterday. The house had gotten pretty dirty with mud from all the rain. Not to mention the sawdust and pvc shavings . . . We also moved the cut table out of the living room and onto the back porch. This makes the room feel so big now. It's nice having a clean house.

We started filling the sanitary with water today, but found a couple leaks in some test caps. We fixed everything and will fill the entire line with water through the vents on the roof tomorrow. The top-out inspection involves filling the entire sanitary line and vent system with water and making sure the water stays at the same level, showing there are no leaks. We're excited to be finished with plumbing and moving onto electrical. We plan on drilling holes in the studs tomorrow for the wiring. I hope you are having a great Memorial Day weekend!

Scrub a dub dub

Adam's sitting in the tub!

For the last couple weeks, we have been putting in two bathtubs and a whirlpool tub. We also finished the plumbing for the future bathroom upstairs. And here's some pictures to prove it.

This is the bathtub in the hall bathroom. You can see the shower valve is installed and piped up.

This is the back of the hall bathtub. You can see the overflow piped up to the back of the tub. The pipe in the wall closer to the camera is the vent. You can also see the protective liner over the bathtub.

This is what the shower walls are going to look like. We didn't install them yet, but you get the idea.

This is where the tub is going in the Jack & Jill bathroom. The waste and overflow pipe are in place and a wall still needs to be built behind the tub.

The tub is in place in the Jack & Jill bath. You can see the hot and water pipes coming into the sides of the shower valve and the shower and bath water coming out the top and bottom. The wall is also built around the pipes.

Behind the Jack & Jill bathtub.

And, here's our fancy pants whirlpool tub. I think it's quite large. We don't need a hot tub with this around. We're still working on building the frame around it.

There are two shower heads in the master shower.

This is the plumbing for the upstairs lav (sink) and water closet (toilet).

This is below the upstairs shower/bath.

And here's the upstairs bath from upstairs. You can see the toilet flange on the floor - we plugged it up temporarily.

Here's the work crew taking a break on the porch.

The fireplace is installed with the correct front, but there is blue plastic over it to protect it.

The backyard. Clint and I cleaned all of the wood that was out there, so it's now a nice view.

It's been fun to see some fixtures go in. The house is really coming along.
