I'm not a plumber, but I pretend to be one on occasion. Real plumbers have trouble laying out bathtub drains often enough that they carry concrete cutting tools to make the adjustments required.

Tubs give me a special headache trying to rough in the plumbing. I put in a 12 inch box where I thought it should go and left the pipe a little long.

After the pour, I took out the box and cleaned out the hole.

I got lucky and didn't have to bust out any concrete. The pipe was about 4 inches long, which is easy enough to fix when dealing with Sch 40 PVC. I lined up the trap and connected the drain lines to the tub.

This is one of those proud moments for me. hahaha

The little details that nobody will ever see when it's all finished are what make it fun for me. This is the kitchen sink drain. It just fit together about a nice as I could hope for.

My girlfriend is one of those rare women that just loves getting involved in my projects. She jumps right in there and works as hard as anybody.

She's never used a nail gun before, nor has she ever framed a wall. It's all pretty basic after layout and marking.

Here she is putting together the bedroom wall.

Here she is looking in from the new bedroom window.

Of course, we need a few more walls before it's really a bedroom. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I got a little more done today. The heat is a killer, it slows me down and makes everthing a little tougher.

This is the home part. The first window will be my family room, then the kitchen and my bedroom.

This is the view from the family room looking into the kitchen. To keep things open, I'm building a U shaped kitchen with the open breakfast bar.

As I mentioned earlier, the heat was getting pretty bad today. It was only in the low 90's, but the humidity was also in that range.

To cool off, I took a quick swim in my pond. This is my girlfriends son looking for frogs. The workshop is in the background.
