Fun with plumbing

Well, the days are ticking down until my dad leaves for the season, and we've got lots to do. It's clear now that some work will need to continue past that window in order to get it completed enough for the rainy season.

The pictures are a little less pretty today, but they're more about us documenting what's in the floor and where, so that we can get at it again if we ever have need to.

The big pipe is blackwater. Left to right, it picks up the shower and toilet. The right one is the plumbing crossover to the east side washrooms. it goes to the street on the left, and the right side continues on to pick up the kitchens. The little pipe is stormwater. There is a drain where the open pipe is, and the riser goes up to the 3rd floor where it will drain rooftop rainwater down. It heads to the street to the left.

This is the west side. There are a few walls that get fit after, so it might not make a bunch of sense. From the middle left it comes from the sink, picks up the toilet, then the shower which is the p trap. The stack on the left goes up to the bathroom on the second floor. The smaller pipe sticking up is the west side 'notch' drain, which picks up storm water from the rooftop and sends it out to the street. This saves us from dumping water off the front of the building onto the sidewalk during rainfall.

This is the main hallway. Pic is taken abut where the front door is. The doorway on the left is the west bedroom. It has the east bedroom door opposite. At the end of the hallway it opens to the kitchen and living room, with the arch in the distance leading out to the patio area. The arched boveda ceiling goes on top of the beams that you can see crossing the top of the hallway, which starts to give a sense of how high a 3.5m ceiling is. We'll definitely need a ladder in order to change light bulbs.

Outflow to the town sewer system, as well as our stormwater outflow to the street.
