Plumbing Top-Out: done.

We passed our plumbing top-out inspection on Friday, June 5th. Here’s some of the things we completed in order to pass:

We had to insulate the supply lines going to the future bathroom upstairs.

We had to fill the pipes and bath tubs with water to test for leaks. The wet-vac was hooked up to suck the water out of the pipes.

Adam had to get the hose on the roof to fill the sanitary line through the vent.

Here’s the completed bathroom upstairs. It’s gonna stay like this for a few years, before we build it out.

Other than plumbing . . .

We also got the correct front put on our fireplace.

Adam’s Aunt Alice & Uncle Stan cut our weeds for us – THANK YOU!! You can see the difference in height in this picture. This is not all of ours – the property line is to the right of the white pipe sticking out of the ground to about 10 feet to the left of the fence corner.

Can’t wait to have a backyard!

We had to uninstall the whirlpool tub, so some people could come out and fix the leaks. It is now fixed and reinstalled.

We’ve been installing electrical boxes (they’re blue)

More blue boxes.

We framed the opening for the medicine cabinet – you can see the cabinet up-side-down on the floor.

We sheathed this wall because it is a shear wall. This is where the tv will go.

Yesterday, Adam mixed concrete for the master shower, to create the right slope for the shower pan.

Doesn’t it look good!? Also, notice the blocking put up around the edges. There will be a rubber membrane that will wrap up the sides of the shower, to make it completely water-proof.

So, that’s what we’ve been up to on the house. Adam is ordering the rest of the electrical material today. We need to add a clean-out to the sewer line by the road, in order to pass our water and sewer inspection – we’ll probably do that this week. Things are coming together.
