Thankfully uneventful plumbing

I know that people are into bathrooms and more bathrooms these days.  But, it's usually hard to squeeze a bathroom into an existing home without ruining the original architecture.  But with plans to partially finish the basement of this house, I couldn't find a better place to put in a second bathroom down there.  And, with having such great access to the outside through the garage and a yard that a dog might like, we might as well create a full bathroom with a curbless shower that will be good for people and dogs :-)

So, in comes JT (Jeff Tolusciak, our plumber) to break up the concrete floor in preparation for the new lines.  This also gave him the opportunity to inspect the condition of the existing lines, which we are happy to report are cast iron and in great condition.

Breaking up the concrete is hard, messy and dirty, requiring a good bit of clean-up on his part and mine. 

Soon, the new lines are in place for the basement bathroom, utility tub and washer:
