Jan. 13: Plumbing is one of those trades that you never think about until there is a problem..... you really don't want a problem.... The first fix of plumbing means that pipes are brought to and lead away from critical areas such as sinks/vanities and toilets. The most exciting bit of plumbing (to me) is that which facilitates my soaker tub.... can't wait. Pipes which I have always known to be behind walls, are now visible and I seem to want to have an opinion on their placement. I know what I don't want, and that is to hear the plumbing ... ever. So begins the discussion as to the ensuite toilet waste pipe placement - specifically how it should not be within earshot of the living room.. This has been an interesting discussion (????) but I think we have come to a compromise (using an outside wall) and are now waiting for confirmation from the building inspector. As noted in previous blogs, our "waste" needs to be pumped up uphill to the city connection under the road, which means we have had several (more) discussions regarding holding tanks, pumps, back up pumps and pressure hoses. I have complete confidence that Martin (contractor) will make the right decisions... so I don't have a problem or a whole lot more discussions about plumbing. Sigh.

Pipes in the crawl space -the plumber Rob seems to spend a lot of time here. It is kind of cool
