Always a good motto to work by, even when moving some plumbing around. I finally got the plumbing worked out for the new bathroom configuration. I like the new plastic connectors, they're call Shark Bit because you just have to push the plastic ½ line in all the way and that's it. To remove just pull back on the plastic sleeve and pull the pipe out, which is good if you make a mistake or need to relocate a line. No more soldering in the walls or copper pipes that might sweat or knock if not properly secured. And the plastic holds the heat better. Anyway the first step in putting the bathroom back is getting this plumbing rearranged and then I can get the tub fitted, locate it's drain and overflow lines and then the toilet, everything will be in place soon.
New location for the bathroom sink, these coupling are temporary, I'll add 90ยบ fittings later to extend them through the wall for the taps.
Old bathroom sink lines now become new washing machine feed lines and one for the toilet. You can see the toilet shut off at the bottom, it will be moved down the wall and out behind the toilet.
The drain lines reworked, you can see were I'll be putting the 3 inch drain lines hidden inside the tub wall and up on the addition side. It will probably go through the other side to get to the future upstairs bathroom and I'll just make a bulkhead to hide it, as it will be in the laundry room.
