new house for mike

[M4wdFab]

houses are easy   did a bunch on my moms house when i was younger. 



i think i may have failed and not included any venting in my PVC sewer circuit.  need to research that. 

[luvmyxj]

you can use one of these if theres no where to vent outside

ya i saw those but they only let air in and have bad rap for failing.  not sure what i need to do.

 3" toilet to main
1.5" sink
2" shower

[luvmyxj]

you only want air to get in or else you get sewer gases in your house. you didnt need a trap for the sink in the basement since you typically put the trap directly under the sink

[M4wdFab]

ya i got ahead of my self and was missing one fitting i needed so the trap ended up under the floor.  probably a mistake because now i cant add one of those cheater vents under the vanity after its trap  

still not finding a good solution for a vent.  it def needs one.  sucking and gurgling through the vanity drain right now when your flush the toilet.



got the shower base half ruffed in and first coat of mud on the big wall issues tonight.  should be laying down the shower membrane tomorrow night.  and ready for tile soon.   

[M4wdFab]

i am thinking re trap the vanity above the floor so i can add a cheater vent there.  other wise put a real open vent out the side wall but risk being too close to the kitchen window that i like to open when its HaWt



shower base roughed in tonight and first coat of aqua defense put in around the drain interface.  i think its going to work well.  tile and supplies on hand. 

i think i just met my 1000$ or less full bath goal with all materials on hand minus some fittings an the vent.

Aren’t you immediately under roof there to just run a stack? Or do you really just not want to open up a wall and pierce the roof?

These are fun projects. I've been enjoying way more than cars lately. Just finished #3 that got full everything.

those vent cheaters have worked well for me.

If you need, I have guys for:
HVAC (just installed central air for $1900 total)
Roofing / Siding

[M4wdFab]

yes under roof.  no do not want to tear up floor and sil, wall, roof to get to it.....   its just a pain 4 ways. 

changing the sink drain to add a vent will be 30min and 20$ to try


i did HVAC install for 3-4 years so im good there.  might do AC next year.  Furnace is a 2yr old 95% so good there. 
Electric was my major weakness but i have fumbled through that now and good!


i havent worked on houses for about 15 years but i did a bunch of tear out and remodel on my moms houses. 

[luvmyxj]

Project source tile? Your better then that,or do you enjoy the grandparents bathroom look?

[M4wdFab]

do not care, grabbed whatever was on sale at lowes and some grey for trim

[M4wdFab]

o boy. 

deleted outlet from shower area,  just wire nutted blacks, whites grounds together respectively.  did it hot.  may have herd a pop but not sure.  now i have no power to kitchen ceiling light/fan, back stairs hall light or upper outlet behind range that fridge was plugged into.


no breakers popped on the panel...... 

[M4wdFab]

o neat.  15 min with a DVM and outlet test light.  traced dead plugs and power to a GFI in the kitchen.  weird. 

reset and all good haha.  good to know.  odd layout. 

[etk300ex]

oh boy

[M4wdFab]

not as bad as you think, the fridge got pulled into a counter height outlet when we moved in.  looks like 3 outlets daisy chained from one GFI, which i think i read some where is non against the rules.  moved the fridge to lower 4 square thats on its own breaker. 

shower outlet deleted! 

its hot

my power has gone out like 5 times this week, must be summer grid issues.....
