Top floor plumbing continues

Made good forward progress on the drainage plumbing for the top floor toilet room, 1/2 bath, sinks, and shower...until the pilot bit for my hole saw malfunctioned at about 4:30 pm.  But with help from my #3 daughter, I was able to get almost finished with the drainage plumbing for the top floor.

On the right side of the pic above, I got the drain run for the sink and toilet in the master bathroom's 1/2 bath (toilet room).  Drilling through the top plate was a bear -- there were nails in the way I did not know about. Caused a bit of a delay getting them pryed out after I discovered them. And I still ended up drilling entirely through one of the nails with the hole saw.


The shower drain & trap are on the far right. It will connect up with the drain from the main bathroom sink, and then meet up with the main plumbing stack on the wall.  I was drilling holes through the floor joists to connect the shower p-trip through the joists when the pilot bit to my hole saw "failed".  (The set screw that keeps the bit proud of the hole saw failed, making it impossible to use the hole saws to cut more joists.)

Here's the unabridged time lapse of the work day and our walk out.

My able-bodied assistant lounging with the iPad as she waited for me to need an additional pair of hands.  (I really couldn't have done some of it without her there.)

I expect the snow will be melted out enough by next weekend that we'll be able to drive in.





This is the view from the winter parking area heading towards KnArrow Haus on May 26, 2018.


I placed a timelapse camera in the bunk room's window pointed down on the snowmobile and driveway to document the snow melt over a two week period.
