Plumbing The Upstairs Part 2 9-03-07

Well today is Labor Day and guess what Jen & I are laboring away.

I thought I would start off with a picture of Jen's new project. Jen is in charge of cleaning off all the brick and plaster walls on the first level.

We will check in with her throughout this blog entry to see her progress.

This is the way my day started. Me thinking about how much I do not enjoy plumbing anymore.

I left the shower drain unhooked on Saturday because I just could not take it anymore. So today I started with this. I beleive that I worked on this shower for about 2 hours trying to get the shower trap hooked up to the 3" main.

Here is a picture from the first floor showing the shower trap on the left of the picture.

I was so happy I had to take a picture.

Well here is Jen working on the wall.

Keep on going Jen! Only 4 million more bricks to go.

Back to the upstairs plumbing again.

This is a picture of the backside of the shower area where the trap is located.

The real problem with this was that I could only use one hand to hook up the fittings because the space was so small.

Here is a closer view.

Once the 3" pipe was hooked up under the shower the pipe had to be ran out across the back rafters.

If you click on the picture you will see me down at the very end on the left hanging from a ladder.

Believe me this was a real blast to try and hookup when you are 16 feet in the air.

Finally got the pipe all hooked up and now I am ready to run the 90 and down spout over to the corner connection.

It has to be run down then over because the roof angle prevents any pipe from going all the way over to the final connection in the corner.

But I am out of fittings and all the stores are closed to due to it being Labor Day. So let go back and check on Jen's progress with cleaning the bricks.

Hey making some progress!! Well that is it for this Labor Day. I hope I am not still doing this next Labor Day???

Well we will see everyone next weekend so have a great week.

Chris & Jen
