Sept 14: More Plumbing Excavated

After the main lines, the branch lines are excavated.  Strings mark interior wall locations.








Lotte discusses details with Todd on-site.

Todd and I worked together on-site to determine the exact locations of plumbing walls by cross-checking measurements taken off of the stem walls against additional dimensions (for purposes of triangulation) taken from the computer model, which is on a laptop.  Todd drives a steel stake into the compacted surface to locate the Master Bathroom plumbing wall for the shower, below




Pierre, the plumber, begins installing the main waste line, which is a 4" diameter PVC pipe with a cellular core.



After plumbing walls are located, Todd makes an adjustment to the location of the High Mass Storage tube bundle, which will enter and exit the slab, to coincide precisely with the desired manifold location in the Utility Room, below.
