Purple fingers and PVC All the plumbing drains are done. Yeah, I made a few boo-boo's along the way, but PVC is forgiving. The 9-1/2 foot ceiling height in the garage/shop area meant all whole buncha ladder work. The laser level got put to work and I was able to get the correct slope from one end to the other, all within the confines of the 16" tall second floor I-joist framing...with just a bit to spare.
Master bathroom toilet and tub/shower (trap for tub/shower not yet installed)
Guest bath toilet joining with main
All the other stuff (kitchen, master & guest lav's) look pretty much the same =============================================================== The structural design of the second floor framing required a double wide lam beam at the stairway opening. The Georgia Pacific engineers allowed me to cut three 2" holes thru it for the electrical, but told me to forget about a hole for the 3" PVC second floor main. We had to drop the second floor main just before the double lam beam. This is not such a big deal since it had to come down eventually to run over to the 4" soil main that exits the structure.
All the necessary drains and vents are laid out to facilitate installation of a laundry tub and a washing machine. The main soil cleanout extended and elevated for ease of access. (the laundry tub/slop sink will definitely happen...the washing machine is a big "maybe")
Up the stairs to the living zone.
The kitchen area
The master bath (tub/shower and toilet and vent)
the lav at the master; guest lav is ditto
Tying all the vents together at the main vent stack posed a special set of challenges, but the PVC octupus came together. Doing this part of the job in the cooler springtime has turned out to be lucky timing. I don't even wanna think what it would'a been like in the heat of summer.
