Huge bathroom progress
Over the past few weeks, we've taken massive leaps and bounds in getting our new upstairs bathroom ready for inspections.
We ran a new 3 inch drain stack all the way up through the library/sm bedroom downstairs and under the floor of the new bathroom.
We plumbed new supply pipes up to the toilet and shower stall.
We installed our new toilet (on the subfloor, for the time being). No leaks, and it's being used already!
We have installed ALL the lighting for the bathroom. The only electrical left is connecting the outlets to the breaker box, and installing the extractor fan.
Enough talk, here are some photos!
Array
Knocked out a 4in cast iron pipe and tied in a new 3in PVC pipe
New 3in pipe runs through foundation wall...
Into the other room below the library (downstairs) and new bathroom (upstairs)
The pipe runs into a closet under the stairway (love the puke-colored carpet from the 70s!)
The into the library below the bathroom. The toilet is already connected!
My nice, clean wiring for the bathroom electrical. I'm not an electrician, I just play one on the intertubes.
Pretty wiring. This stuff feeds all the lights and extractor fan.
Sink side lamps roughed in
Sink side lamps installed for testing! 3 24in tubes in each! They're bright!
Ceiling lights - one 24watt fluorescent bulb in each - they're sufficient.
Let there be light in this dark, dismal bathroom! Working up here will be downright pleasant with all this light.
Toilet flange, ready to go! Some confusion as to where the pipes should go, hence the extra holes.
It's a Kohler 1.6gal toilet with class-5 flush system! We've had an identical one downstairs for a year, and we love it.
