Guess what? You’re back. So I haven’t been recording as regular as I would like to, but it’s still coming. Still really busy. But when I worked by the hour, I certainly cannot charge. I’m not charging this gentleman here.
They don’t like this toilet this close to the shower. So they want to locate this toilet over here. And that’s a bit of a journey. Three-inch line goes straight through there is already got water lines going from it. So we’re going to end up having to go out down around and connect further. And we’ve got all the pieces for that.
Let’s see, first we need to measure if you see right here from the wall finish wall to the center of these bolts is 12 inches, that gives a lot of room by end user so you really wouldn’t have to be that close. But so we’re gonna go from the finish wall. There’s how far out we want to be now we have to decide you know, we get too big we’re starting getting into the counter if you see this at the water, I mean they literally be in the corner of the cabinet, but we want to decide how big of a person we’re gonna have to allow for.
And we want these slots to be were flipped out here that T bolt that will be hanging, you can hang on it right there when it’s fastened to the floor, but again, I want it like I’m saying the center line is in the center this and this you can buy it’s not very much less than five bucks. You can put three inches on the inside, four inch on the outside so it’s set up that way.
So, over here they allowed a lot of room because there’s going to be a door here So I don’t think you need that much room. Although we do you need six eight inches from the thing so fortunate and then 12 inches out from them with mold comes through four plus four to tank and mold it into that that so well.
Boom I get 13 one inch more. So then in the center but you can kinda eyeball this Thank you a pencil mark around. Now what we’ll do is we’ll make this a little bigger because there’s a little bit of a ledge right there not much but can be pretty wide, cause you have a really wide area there.
So we’ll just cut it a little bit to make sure so we’ll drill a hole Good job. And we’ll cut that out. And then we’ll bring you back with us and see what it does. What it looks like down there. Alright, see in a minute.
So clay did the work and cut that out. So we’re it says right in really well. Little closer than I would like it to me but it’s pretty it’s it’s got room for a big fat guy, I would think not Andre the Giant who could not use a regular toilet, he actually in the bathtub and then use the shower to clean it out. So we’re going to set this toilet here. So we can get as much room as we can right here with the cabinet.
Now if you look down in here, you literally can you see the three inch pipe right there and the other pipe crossing it, we’re not gonna be able to drop right straight down into that three inch pipe. So we’re gonna go 90 back a little ways and then drop down into it.
It’s the only way its gonna work, recognize improvise, overcome. So we can put this in a temporary fashion. So we’re gonna take those in here, and they’re gonna be like right there in order to hold use a screw gun. Screw screws. If you take those right back out. You need to move something just getting them out and I’ll have all this I’m not doing that cave stuff. I leave that for other people to die. frightened death where you gotta breathe to move. Breathe out not my style Drop that line down here. let me have that .Hand light looks like they had a That’s a vent Okay, that goes up in the wall there.
Now that goes up into the wall, three-inch drain and eventually the sink there was a line so they’ll have a tee inside that wall and it goes over to it and then comes out and it’ll run down. I don’t know what that is. That’s maybe that wall over there my stairs goes up. I’ll go up to vent for up the stairs or drain for upstairs.
Yeah.
So we got to get from right there. And then through here having a bunch of lines and the three or 4 90s we got we got to have enough to fall down in here. We got to put a tee right here. We go experiment with, some of the houses are really tight. This just comes over here and unloads just can’t tell there’s no water or there’s no bathroom or nothing. Oh upstairs there is.
Well how’s that work?
That’s another project. So, next thing we’re gonna do, put a 90 on there, see where we fall out and then put the Tee up here.
