Plumbing and Posts

What you see below is the rough in plumbing for the basement areas that needs plumbing, plus catching the plumbing that comes down from above.  Since all this plumbing has to fit inbetween the walls and we have no walls yet, it takes precisse measurements.  The plumber arrived on Wednesday, or yesterday and did his work in one day.




Hard to be precises when you have walls and dirt.  But they know what they are doing.  In the middle picture above on the right, you see the plumbing for the bathroom in the basement and a washer/dryer hookkup.  In pictures one and 3 you see plumbing to catch everything from above and on the left in the bottom picture you see plumbing for the little kitchenette that will be in the basement in the future.

In the picture below, notice the two smaller rectangular areas of concrete in the middle.  These are for posts to hold up the steel beam, which will support the middle two modular home boxes.  Using a steel beam instead of posts, frees up the basement area wiithout having to have posts to hold it up.  the open room will look great with 12 foot high ceilings!! 



Oops, this picture is a duplicate from the footings post.  More on the steel beam later.

  1. How's the house coming along so far? Is it about to be finished? The plumbing job really seems to be going well. Also, the plumber looks like he’s doing a pretty good job!
