Lessons from the 3rd plumbing day this week

Lessons learned during my third day of plumbing rough-in this week at Knarrow Haus:

• Don't return fittings you think are surplus until your finished -- chances are you'll need them.
• A 1/2-hour drive to Leavenworth to purchase missing fittings is a 2 hour roundtrip due to weekend traffic.
• It takes a minimum of two people to glue-up plumbing between floors (I learned this a few weeks ago, but it was reinforced again today.)
• Unplug the hole saw before you change the bit. (Oops. Ouch. Bandaid.)

My entire time was spent downstairs converging all the plumbing runs in to the main stack or in to smaller stacks that run under the slab, and starting to run the venting.
