Up Stairs Bathroom
|
|
|
|
| The upstairs sink has had problems draining for
years. Part of the replumb will be replacing the drain for this
sink. I thought the drain ran across the outside wall, behind the
corner cabinet, behind the toilet and into the main sewer pipe behind
the tub. |
||
|
|
|
|
| When I got the wall cut open I found the drain
runs across the wall and then in the floor across the front of the
toilet and into the main sewer. |
||
|
|
|
|
| I don't necessarily need to replace the toilet,
however as you can see the tank and bowl are connected by a 1 1/4 brass
tube. I'm concerned this tube is going to give out and start
leaking. We're going to replace both toilets with 1.28 gallon
flush models. |
||
|
|
|
|
| This is where the sink drain connects into the
vent and then under the floor. |

|
| Newspaper was used a lot for
insulation in the outside walls. |
The
newspaper is very brittle and broke into small pieces as I pulled it out
from around the pipes. I was able to get several pieces out in one
piece and this one actually had a date on it. |

| Hopefully this new drain from the upstairs sink will take care of the sink not draining. This will be nice. | ||

| Insulation covering the new ventilation system ( a fan). | Duct work venting out the roof. | |

| Friday and Saturday March 31 and April1 it is time to put the new flooring down. | This means the sink, toilet and tub must come up and/or be moved. We jacked the tub up using my car floor jack. Than two 4X4's with 2X4's on top of the 4X4's to get enough height were slide under the tub. Brian and Zach helped me slide the tub so we could put flooring under the tub. This picture shows us aligning the tub back up to where it was. | |

|
| This is one of the tub supports I built so all the weight of the tub is not on the legs. | Several years ago we had one of the tub legs come off when a guest was getting out of the tub. | |

| In January I added a show to the upstairs bath. | Had to build this support to hold the rain shower head. | |
