Lights, Venting, and Closets

We've had a friend up this week helping us with the electrical work at the cabin, which is now mostly finished except for a few odds and ends that will get mopped up over the next couple weeks.

Light switches, power outlets, ...

...and lights!

I spent the day intending to finish up running the plumbing vent for the downstairs drains to the upper bunk room wall.  As I was reviewing my plan to route the vent, I realized that the fan in the bathroom needed to be relocated closer to the wall to allow room for the register in the bathroom. So after, moving it over -- including tripping an electrical circuit because it was wired up -- I got back to routing the venting.

The vent from the lower floor, from the kitchen sink,
and from the powder room toilet now all converge.

I ran out of 2 inch vent elbows, so I couldn't go any further today. But I did get the all the holes drilled to get the pipe routed up in to the bunk room, where it will exit out the side of the house and terminate above the roof.

You'll notice I avoided trying to go through that glom of wood framing in the corner.  Where this corner of pipe sticks out there will be storage cabinet covering it -- the savings in effort seemed worth it.

While I was busy with the plumbing, Katie and her sister, Amy, were busy upstairs in the master bedroom adding a closet that will have twin bed on top.

The plan for the closet.

Katie's and Amy's victorious day of closet building
using math, miter saws and hammer drills.

The roof of the closet will have joists running out from the wall creating a twin bed platform.
