One More Thing Done

Well one move thing done, at least for now, I'll still have to glue up the drain lines for the tub, once it's permanently installed, they'll go together easily. For now everything else is in place and glued up. There were a couple of adjustments needed and a lesson learned on what order to glue them in and to make sure ALL the pieces are properly marked for alignment before taking them apart.
This is were I relocated the old lines and added the new one for the upstairs bathroom. I"ll update this picture with a completed one later.
New tub and toilet lines in place, the orange cap is there to hold back the septic gases, until I get the tub fixed in place this will be the last glue up.
Toilet location set and water lines for the tub pushed through. Again keeping back the septic gases, this time with a plastic bag stuffed with old insulation. It works just fine.

Starting To Come Together - The Dry Fitting

It is starting to look like a bathroom, at least when everything is put in it's place, even temporarily. With the two support wall in place I wanted to make sure the rest of the tub surround would fit properly so ReBecca and I put them in place along with the toilet and sink. This way she can decide on what type of lights she wants and where they should go. It also give us a feel of how it will look, and we have to remember that there will be a window by the toilet letting is more light.
The rest of the tub fit great, so we can move forward with the rest of the work.
It might look a little tight and dark back in the corner but there is plenty of room and we'll have a window close by.
The sink in place, we didn't want a big vanity, something simple that suits the location. Again there will be lights over top and on the wall above the sink.
With everything looking good I finished the dry fitting for the plumbing, here the 3 inch line is dry fitted for the future upstairs bath.
The tub and toilet fitting went well, at least from the top side anyway.
It took a little adjusting to get the lines fitted properly to be tied into the main drains, a couple of more pieces and then I'll be done dry fitting and will glue them up after a few more jobs in the bathroom are completed. You never know there may be a need to re-adjust them and it's easier to move them when dry fitted and not glued up.
