About Me

I wanted to thank everyone who was interested in my house construction. Despite how much I hate blogs this would be the easiest way for me to share the progress. No talk about me standing in line at Target or other stuff no one cares about. Just construction, Good and bad.

Sanitary line work

This past saturday I had my new plumber Mike Rich with me to start the plumbing work. This was his first task on my project. He was great. I acted as his aprentice and he taught me some of the skills he has picked up in the 25 years of being a plumber.

We needed to move the existing horizontal sanitary line coming from the addition and also replace the 80 year old vertical sanitary stack and cleanout. I thought it would stink once we cut the lines... but apparantly my shit don't stink.

New sanitary stack and line. This makes way for the future corridor. Right past where the laundry is now. Had to quickly move the hot and cold water lines feeding the laundry. I'm getting pretty nasty at soldering. Once again, thanks to Joe for lending me his kit.

Mike also showed me where the slab needs to get demolished for the below slab plumbing to be done next weekend.
