Tub gets ripped out and new plumbing roughed in.


Saturday morning, and before I knew it and had any coffee, I had the tub ripped out and the demo started. Clearly this was out-of-character as it was pre-10am, and I was working - I don't even start working before 10am at the day job! Anyways, Kev shows up shortly after, and we get to work demo'ing the rest of the bathroom. With the demo done, we set to work laying the rest of the plumbing for the toilet and tub. I wanted to run the toilet to the wall, but pitch may have become an issue, so decided to keep it close to the stack. The plumbing for the tub had us headscratching for a bit as it was pretty close to the drain, and didn't leave much room for error.
End of the day and the plumbing is set for the bathroom. The blue and red pipes are PEX flexible pipe. I can't imagine trying to work copper from the basement all the way up here. PEX is great - measure, cut, crimp, done.
