2nd floor wiring nearly complete!


I am pretty sure all of the 2nd floor circuits are in place in the box now.  Just have a few loose ends to tie up and then we can move down to the 1st floor.



Today the plumbers installed the upstairs hall/shared bathroom bathtub.  We still need to build the wall on the end.

Plumbing progess

It is not pretty but it should work just fine.
1st floor bathroom plumbing is complete!  Also, I was able to run the 3" drain for the master bathroom up to the first floor.  Hopefully it will be much smoother sailing from now on...
Thanks to Dad for all of the work adding in reinforcement to the joists wherever I made holes in them.

Joist reinforcement:



I also finished the sewage ejector tie-ins and got its vent up to the first floor.  Its vent has to go all the way up to the roof.  Sewage ejectors can't share a vent with other fixtures unfortunately.

Plumbing work

Nearly all of the sheathing is now complete.  One small section remains and that will be done tomorrow.

I've begun working on plumbing, starting in the basement over the weekend with my dad with the sump pump.

I've since completed the sump pump and most of the sewage ejector pump.

Sewage ejector stuff on the left, sump on the right.

Plumbing groundwork finished

The plumber finished the groundwork this weekend.  Inspection scheduled for tomorrow (Monday).  Slab pour possibly later this week, all weather (rain and/or cold) dependent.

the pipes are pretty solidly in place right now using the gravel.  Also, they are currently filled with a mixture of antifreeze and water.  Otherwise, they have a tendency to "float" up out of place during the concrete pour.
