here is the PITA job of the day. the shower pan has to come out to make room for the one we are going to fabricate from concrete. back in the day when this pan was installed they used molten lead to seal the drain. basically that meant that you have to get down there with a hammer and screwdriver and dig that shit out. it took me all of 2 maybe 2.5 hours of hammering chiseling and digging but i got it done. once i was down far enough i used a bigger screwdriver to dig down the the base of the drain and get under the lead thereby allowing me to pry out the lead that was adhered to the pipe. once the pan was out i had to clean up the packing (dirt) that was under the old pan to clean it up for the concrete pan we are going to install. this process begins with making a curb form then pouring the concrete and let it set up for a day or so then once it's set we will put down the rubber pan and then tile it up.

demo is now almost complete. paul is toying with the idea of re-tiling the floor too since we already have gutted the entire bathroom.

and of course it's not a job unless you give a little blood to the project gods...

Oh There MUST be a Blood Sacrifice !!!

true there. tomorrow if i don't go in early to work on the new deck i have to re-route some romex. no big deal. in the upper corner you can see where the wiring went to power the light over the sink. since we removed the fur down i now have to drill 2 2x4's and pass the cable through them so that the drywall can mount up flush. still trying to decide where to mount the new light over the sink though. on the wall or on the ceiling? dunno. figure that out later.
|
I suggest the wall. I just like that look better. And don't forget to put in a light/vent fan over the shower and for Pete's sake, make sure the vent exhausts OUTSIDE! I've seen what can happen when the vent exhausts into the attic, a void or once even a dryer port.
Come summer, I may even have a few big projects to share such as shed/barn building. Help is always welcome too! :D |
lol right! yeah we are putting in a fart fan. didn't even think about venting to the outside. will go mention that now.
last night i decided to move the electrical like previously stated. MAN did i ever cause a spark! i was working "hot" and while removing the staple holding the romex on i busted through the insulation and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAP! didn't get me though but sure was bright! :D i like the wall idea too but paul wants a ceiling mount. oh well. |

Which was brighter, the spark...or you? ;) |
oh most definitely the spark!
oh and hey! i must be a good pilot......i'm still alive! :D |
This is true!
Actually, I would have total faith in your flying ability. I would, however, think you might turn to me and say "here, hold my beer and watch THIS!" Vroooooooooom. I'm fearless in the earthly mortal realm, though. :lol: |
ahhhh yes. the proverbial redneck famous last words... "HEY Y'ALL WATCH THIS!" splat.
|
You boys need a good fire! Imagine how fast you could build... I admire your grit though.
