With an intermission of visiting my friends the Klockman family in Alpine (West Texas) and a short visit from Arnoud, today I have recommenced the work on the bathroom. It was a bit of double work first, as the pipe joint compound I used wasn’t compatible with the pipes, causing them to not be glued at all. But no harm done; all could be restored and is now in place with the correct compound.

The picture above shows the new vanity, which now is hooked up to the septic and the hot and cold water lines. Going through the 12″ solid cedar wood walls was a challenge, but doable.

The shower now has the Pex lines coming to the valve, and the shower head has been mounted. I won’t be able to connect the Pex water lines to the valve, or the valve to the shower head, as I don’t have those parts yet.
