The temptation

Sorry about the blogging hiatus. I am dealing with some health issues & work busy-ness.

Today, the renovation's incremental progress hit a milestone - all the plumbing rough ins are now done. Dad added extra special touches, such as:
- moved the plumbing between the joists in the basement, to raise the basement ceiling 6"
- routed the shower and sink water lines separately (so people can brush their teeth without scalding someone in the shower)
- the vent for the bath/shower drain was move from an interior wall into an exterior wall. this eliminates a wall in the bathroom.

But this "state of readiness" presents a problem to me...

the toilet water intake (the braided silver tube) and poo drain. 

vanity hot/cold inputs and drain.

See all those knobs and switches?
If I turn any of them, water will shoot out 20ft.

the bathtub faucet hot/cold and drain pipe.

this is the shower on switch.

I've been firmly instructed
NOT TO TOUCH
any of them.

ooooo, temptation!












Tomorrow we begin the floor heating system. The box came with a DVD, and instructions and a 1-800 number.
I'm taking the afternoon off work to help.

Here's a link to the installation steps.
