Are those lines on an inside wall? Hopefully you won't have to run any lines on an outside wall. And I'm sure you know living where you do to insulate any pipes running on an outside wall. Any job is as good as the details...

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. ................bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
