Plumbing a Go go
Week of Dec 12 to 16.
Roofers finished verandah ( half a day)
Touchup paint and gloop holes/gaps on walls.
Paint around outside wall of toilet window cleanup exterior around new window.
Widen space around house (big digger) and use little digger to dig drains for
sewage and storm water lines.
Plumbers at house Wed-Fri.
First day they lay sewage and water lines (I spend half day straightening and getting even fall on ditches done with digger on day before).
Hookup sewage lines to septic and septic to leachfield.
( leachfield is 12mx8m 600mm deep, 150mm metal, perf pipes (2 runs) 200mm metal/gravel on top, shade cloth, 300 mm dirt on top)
Lay (storm) water lines to tank on top of sewage line.
Hookup stormwater lines to water tank.
Piping goes in real fast once drains OK. White PVC glued and stuck together.Sewage pipes have rubber seals also.
Day 2 they install hot and cold water lines under house for fixtures and drain lines for grey and black water to gully trap or into sewage lines.
Install and hookup pump from water tank.
Third day (Fri) install interior fixtures and appliances.
I Make and install stand for pump (going in garage corner)
Shonaghs clawfoot bath arrived and dragged into bathroom, installed in place. Cover with wrap to protect from Gib stoppers if they ever come back.
Strip wall paper/glue off end of hall ceiling. Wipe down ceiling
Inspector came to check sewage lines (Thurs) - all OK. Did some sort of check of house and decided needs EPS foam around (new) kitchen window and installed lintels above two of the three openings in dining+lounge walls- not in kitchen wall though(?) - Not really necessary due to plentitude of sarking in wall but its what he said...
Builder gang start work on that. (Inspection report says something about Timber moisture content that he couldn't check due to gibbed walls. Whats the moisture content of 100yr old heart rimu??)
Friday Plumber, builders, gibstoppers all at house - bit of a madhouse.
Linesmen out installing new transformer and drops for house.
Start filling in ditches over sewage lines till get digger on it.
Small digger putting in new line from gate to house corner for Power and phone line after which linesman lay power line to house.
Work on freeing stuck outside sash windows - loosen up and get all working
- 1 Lounge and both in Kitchen Unfortunately two of weights broke while doing so. Something for Dad to get onto.
Gib stoppers complete all of first Gib coat through all of house (finally)- they use stilts to get around.Mixed their gloop outside this time but still managed to get some splattered on ceilings and in dead center of Lounge somehow.
Didnt complete on Friday since not finished. Might make middle of Jan.
