Okay this is Roy's brother's house, Fred. So, he wants both of his bathrooms remodeled. Okay we started out by taking all the old vanity, toilet and light out.
Roy and I took a drive to the land fill and dropped it off. Out of site and ready to make this room look great.
The ceiling has a few issues to deal with. Before Fred moved in, I guess this was one of the places where there was a roof leak. The guy that lived here before, had a new roof put on this house. So, he never repaired the ceiling in here. Roy and I talked about how to repair this. Talked about putting up lattice strips over the old yellow strips. But I think it will stand out more than we want. So, Roy patched it up with spackle. Then he will paint over it.
Got the old things out, light, toilet and the vanity.
Roy did most of the painting. It's starting to look better.
We got the flooring in and man that sure brights up the room.
Okay, now what do we do to get the water lines up into the new vanity? I cut the CPVC pipe down to about inch off the floor. Then put 90-degree CPVC pipe with a treaded ends. Hooked up the 20" water line. Cut the drain pipe off so we can lift the vanity over it, plus the water lines.
Drilled a couple of three-inch holes. This way it will be easier to get the drainpipe and lines up inside of the vanity.
So, far so good.
I over spoke, the valves have standard pipe fittings. The water lines are tread for faucet threads. Drove to Butterfields. This is a hardware store down the road from us. Now the water valve we have has compression fittings on both ends. So, I was thinking let's try putting a piece of CPVC in the compression 1/2" fitting. Then put the CPVC threaded end on the other side. Turned the water on a it had a small leak, but I just tighten a little more and looks like it is going to work. It looks kind of crazy setup. But it works well. The lines are up and inside the vanity without cutting the back out of the vanity which would make it look like crap.
Okay, we got everything in and now let's see what happens? The drain itself is leaking a little. Right under the sink. There is a pipe coming down into the drainpipe. There is leak where the sink is attached to the drainpipe. We took is apart and put caulk along the rubber and then packed it with more caulk in between the nut and sink. Okay, this is Saturday, and everything is in and ready to go. But we asked Fred not to use the sink until Monday. This way it can dry and prayerfully seal the leak up.
As I look at the picture here, you can see the goose neck is not really looking like it is flowing correctly. I guess we will find out on Monday if it leaks or not. If it does? We will drop the drain back down and cut off a 1" or so on drainpipe that comes out of the sink and hook it back up and see?
Okay folks, I have not been blogging like I like to. But prayerfully I will stay on top and try to blog ad least once a week or so.
