Very productive day at KnArrow Haus with the ABS plumbing. (And a beautiful day, at that -- low 80's!)
I completed all the plumbing tie-ins from the upper floors in to the main stack in the basement, and have also run all the vent stacks up from the basement to the main floor. Can't tell you how good it felt to know I was "finished" in the basement with ABS.
Literally all the remains to complete the drainage plumbing is completing the vent stacks behind the wall, and tieing the vent stacks on the upper floor together. ...then "The Pressure Test" where I block off where it runs in to the septic system and fill the whole thing full of water to make sure it doesn't leak. (I think I glued everything...I'm pretty sure....)
This all comes in good timing because I placed the siding order on Friday. It will be delivered August 13th. I've planned to take the week off to get the siding done and the Haus fully protected before the Summer end.
Here's the siding order (through Callie at Stoneway Roofing):
I'm also renting a 4wd boom lift for the week so that I can be confident we'll get the job done.

I tied the 3" run from the upper floors in to the main stack (far right).
Tied the 2" kitchen drain in to the main 3" stack. And tied all the 2" vent stacks from the sinks, laundry, toilet, and shower together, and up through the floor in to the kitchen.
I had to come up with some way to insert a straight pipe in the middle of a straigh run where neither side could be moved. I ended grinding out the flange in the middle of 2" sleeves, putting them fully on each immovable pipe, then sliding them back halfway on to the pipe in the middle. Worked like a charm.)
The 2" pipe on the right is the kitchen drain. The pipe on the left is the vent stack from everything downstairs. I got these run through the sheer wall. They will meet up above counter height behind the sheet wall.

I took detailed measurements of the Haus, and transferred all the measurements in to Sketchup. Then I used sketchup to plan out each panel's measurements and put them in to Excel.
I also used Sketchup to creating the flashing profiles.
