You go march your self right into that new bathroom and get that sit down toilet right out of there. You tell her when she gives back that hat then she can have her throne back. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,902 #32 Posted July 22, 2018 Did some wiring in the dining room for a wet bar, while the wall was open on the back side... cool flexible 54” long 7/8” drill bit made easier work if snaking wires! New LED Bluetooth bath fan too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,902 #38 Posted July 24, 2018 Ceiling is prepped for insulation and the second most desire of Mrs Pullstart, along with Eric @ebinmaine... some Sheetrock! What’s first you might ask? WE ARE ON A WHEELHORSE FORUM OF COURSE! There’s this itch that no bath can scratch, might go “look at” another stud tomorrow morning. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,902 #40 Posted July 24, 2018 Got some more work done, shower heads positioned, both faucets installed in the vanity, more drains hooked up in the basement too. Shower will have push buttons on the outside of the half wall to turn on one or the other or both shower heads. They have nifty LED lights in the shower head too! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,902 #41 Posted July 25, 2018 The shower, I’m hoping will be one of the real highlights of the project. Today I got my air switches. Think of a whirlpool pump switch, or for a kitchen garbage disposal. With the help of some swing check valves, I plan to leave the shower valves in mine and Mrs. desired temps, and the shower head will be activated by the switches through a solenoid valve. Yee haw no more dodging the cold burst when you turn on the shower! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,902 #42 Posted July 26, 2018 Got some roughing done with the shower plumbing, hoping my oversized hammer arrestor will prevent major hammer when the solenoids close. I’ll tear it all out in the morning, clean my joints and play with fire and lead. Woo hoo! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,902 #46 Posted July 26, 2018 True, but for shower rough ins, I like it’s rigidity compared to plastic and pex. plus, I’ll be into the whole bathroom for about 10 sticks or less. I’m willing to settle for the quality on a small job, and maybe in the next 10 years, the small jobs will equate to replacing all the cpvc that’s in the house now. That stuff is brittle! one side is done with the sweat work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When we built our house I installed a tank-less water heater with a recirculation system then routed the hot water lines from fixture to fixture and a return line from the last fixture. When we open any hot water faucet in the house we have hot water within seconds, love it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,508 #48 Posted July 26, 2018 I can turn on the hot water in our master bathroom and then go check the mail. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,902 #49 Posted July 26, 2018 Sometimes, you gotta be thankful for modern technology. Today’s time saver is the shark bite press in fitting. Get through corners without hacking everything to pieces. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,902 #50 Posted July 27, 2018 Finished new lights in the adjacent room, so I can keep moving on with Sheetrock... errr. Start with Sheetrock. Mrs. Pullstart needs to tie her knots in the ropes, then we’ll finish installing bulbs. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
