#plumbing

Did the last cosmetic work on the installation of electric water heater in the bathroom.

The power is still not connected properly and is using a extension cord to turn it in an hour before taking shower. Don't have proper cables to add the switch to the side to turn it on and off (don't need to have it on all the time, since I'm alone and 80L hot water is more than enough to shower a couple of times.

Still not happy about the wall mount, because I'm not sure if I need to reinforce it more or not. But this is a temporary setup and will be taking it with me when we leave.

The damn thing is really heavy and I'm glad I had the hooks perfectly leveled before hanging it on and fill it with water. Total weight is about 120kg when the container is full.

I'm pretty proud of myself doing all the work alone (with some help from the girls when I moved it up at first).

#Plumbing vents mostly done for master bath / laundry. I framed in the walls for this #bathroom so the vent pipes will all be hidden behind it. The drain lines run under the house which is built on piers. The pipes will be vented up through the second floor and eventually through the roof. It's a 4 bed / 3 bath home.

Once I finish plumbing the second floor, I'll post about it on my build blog: https://loghomejourney.wordpress.com/
