Plumbing rough-in

 With the house back-filled, the next step was the rough-in of the plumbing. The plumbing company is a 3rd generation family business, with the 4th generation in training. Very nice young men. Obviously a family that believes in bringing the kids up right. 

The nice flat sand-covered-with-gravel bed of the house was dug up, stirred up and trenched to place the sewer pipes. All the wall positions were marked out on the sides of the foundations to provide the measurement reference points, and all the stacks, water "pipes"- actually hoses - laid out to the main connection point for each room needing water. 


A few days later, after the excavators came back to finish backfilling the workshop, the piping was covered with another layer of sand and all was tamped down nice and flat and smooth.
