Plumbing inside the house is coming along!
The plumbing inside is coming along just fine. Despite the numerous trips to the store for another 90 or another pipe, we are getting close to finishing all the inside connections. We have decided to go with copper fittings for the outside shower as well as the indoor shower and bathroom faucets. The savings was significant enough and the look we want to match the cabin interior.
We chose a 30gal water heater. Based on the appliance usage for two dwellers, we figured 30gal will provide enough hot water. We installed a whole house water filter before the water heater. This one we chose is a GE filter. We installed a shut off valve right before the filter so that the cartridge can be replaced periodically with little effort.
Looks like a maze, but it gets the water where it needs to go! The pipes run along the walls and out of the way leaving plenty of room in the attic for storage.
We sent measurements of the coupala vents to the A/C man. He is building boxes that will cover the vents, but allow for installation of exhaust pipes to the outside. This will prevent exhaust from filing the attic.
KITCHEN PLANNING
Using our floor plan and some cardboard, we have begun to check, double check and fine tune our Kitchen plan. Water pipes are ready for sink and frig installs. That is a few months away, at least. The floor plan on the software is pretty in tune with the exact measurements that we have to install the cabinets.
SHOPPING
We have been burning up the pocketbook. Beside the plumbing, we purchased a 36" ventless range hood in stainless steel. We purchased extension kits to be able to extend the chimney up to the 10' vaulted ceiling. We purchased two bathroom sinks. They are vessel sinks and will be installed in refurbished dressers. One dresser is getting a make over now. The master bath dresser/vanity has yet to be purchased.
This is kinda the concept for the faucets.
Here is our dresser - wish me luck in refinishing it!
