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.

Serious plumbing progress

I made some serious progress this week. Definitely made up for last weekend today. First lets add two more Home Depot / Lowes visits to the total making it 32.

I had some professional help today. I had my plumber Mike come to help me with some of the work. He started with the last of the plumbing vent modifications. He also moved some gas lines for me to clear up the ceiling and get some funky jogs out of the way.

This is the sanitary line and vent stack for the kitchen sink above. We put this funny jog in to get is far away from the electrical panel. This will hopefully make the inspector happy. Though the larger pipe there is still too close, but I think I'll be OK. I'll find out for sure when I get my inspections this week.


The gas line used to have several turns and it came in front of the studs. Now it is tucked behind and will be hidden by drywall.

While Mike was working on the sanitary and gas line, I was working on the water supply lines. He helped me finish it up and now it is all complete!




I even had some time to finish some misc framing and replace the expansion valve on the boiler. Hopefully this will stop the leak that has been happening.

Tomorrow the drywall guy is coming back to finish setting the resilient channels and I'm having him redo a ceiling area. It is too low and now that the water lines are done he can raise it a few inches. I'll take all I can get. After that electrical starts! I have all my recessed lights.
