Tom has been working hard planning and installing drain and vent pipes. Of course, none of the bathrooms line up with each other from floor to floor – therefore, it’s a lot more complicated to run all the necessary pipes.

We plan on moving into the 1st floor by this summer. In order to finish off the 1st floor, we have to complete many of the tasks that will impact the 2nd and 3rd floors – such as pluming, wiring, venting, etc. Once the ceiling goes up on the 1st floor – comments such as “…Whoops, we need to open up the ceiling we just installed because we forgot to put a drain in for the 2nd floor bathtub..” will NOT be permitted!!!!
