Well today I started the remodel job of the bathroom. I removed all the
trim and pulled all nails in it so no one gets hurt, mainly me. I started to
remove the sheetrock that was painted with textured paint around the roof
window opening. I cleaned up the mess for another day.
In the morning I'll cut the water off and remove the two vanity sinks.
Since my son is home from college yet he can help me carry the vanity top
downstairs and out without cutting it in half. Than the vanity will have to be
cut in half or just plain torn apart to remove. If I don't get that done on
schedule, Friday will be open to finish it.
Monday I want to remove the main floor portion and get access to the pipes
coming up thru the walls. I'll try to screw the new plastic pipe to the copper
and pull it up as I remove the copper pipes.
The new plastic water lines will be continuous up inside the walls and
under the floor to inside the new vanity. No fittings what so ever will be any
where I will not be able to get to them. From under the vanity lines will feed
the new single sink, toilet and tub/shower, all fittings being behind a
removable wall panel at those locations above floor level for complete access.
I am allotting a whole week plus to do this part. I will have to get a roll of
blue PEX before running the cold line so no fittings will be required except
where I want them. I need to get a couple PEX shut-off valves in case I get
into a spot that would be quite advantageous to have one.
