Today my plumber Mike Rich came and he just about finished all of the vents for the new plumbing. I acted as his apprentice but he didn't need much help on this stuff. I got to do a lot of work on other stuff while he was going.
Moved the washer and hooked it up to the new laundry tub. You can see the white vent pipe going up behind the dryer. This is the pipe that is coming out of the floor slab.
All the vents connecting in the closet and connecting to the existing vent above.
New vent pipe and hookup for the future vanity.
While the wall was open, I replaced the main water cutoff with a new ball valve. The will last a lot longer and the old one was not working very well. This was a pain in the ass to connect. Having the plumber here saved my ass. The water line coming from the street is slightly larger and was really hard to connect to the fitting. Mike's 25 years of experience helped me get it done. If he was not here I'd be panicking right now because I would not have any water!
I also installed the new expansion tank. Removed the original large steel overhead tank. This was in the way of the bathroom ceiling, old and not really working well anymore. The new one is much smaller and inside the boiler closet.
