Adventures in Plumbing!

I can't tell you how relieved I am to be done with all the plumbing work. One headache of incompatibility after another. No ones fault in particular, but some communication was definitely lost at times. Nonetheless, it all worked out!

You might remember that we started with this:

Whole lotta assumptions, fingers crossed and lucky guesses in the image above, it turns out. 

Before we moved to finish plumbing inside the house, we got Cribley to come back out and hook up the well. 

The pump is wired and plumbed in:

While Todd got the trench covered up

Inside, they set the pressure tank. 

It would be nice if our utility room was a few feet bigger!  We got everything in there, though. 

Including our fancy hybrid heat-pump water heater:

And a basic softener system:

All jammed in next to the pressure tank, and a whole house filter. 

Mess of pipes down there!  Glad we used all good, solid copper. 

Greg got the vanities installed

And the plumber and I hooked it all up. A lot going on down there, actually!

Guest/kids bath is a little simpler. 

We weren't able to use these toilets, sadly. It was frustrating trying to get them to work for a week only to give up. 

New toilet and master soaking tub installed!  This is the money shot. (It'll look a lot better once finished, I promise)

Meanwhile Ron helped me install a temporary counter top and sink/faucet in the kitchen to get us through initial inspections (our Quartz installer sucks). 

Not bad for a super temporary setup!
