Plumbing Begins

Yesterday and today the plumbers were here plumbing away.  They made lots of progress and we now have running water again. I'll post photos tomorrow as it was too dark to get any. 

The best part is the hot water run from the in-line heater is nice and short, just like we planned when it was installed. The long loop from the in-line heater to the old supply line is gone, replaced with new pipe straight from the heater to the fixtures.  So, we'll get hot water at the tap very quickly now. 

There's new PVC pipe for the waste lines and vent stack.  Our kitchen sink will now be vented!  No more gurgling as the water runs down the drain. You can see the location of the bathroom toilet, tub and sink and kitchen sink. 

In the basement the supply and waste lines are in place along the wet wall. Everything looks much cleaner as the old pipes have been pulled. 

Tonite Kanohi noticed a large crack in her ceiling. It's in the corner opposite the wall that forms the entry to the pantry from the kitchen.  I'm guessing that when they framed the doorway the banging caused it.
