" Bob tell you right. Down the roofing shingle is very handsome when when it was down here on piles on the flat I wasn't sure liked the look of it -- gonna dump grain. But. It's nice and that's good in that's thoughts and architectural shingle and what I like about it is we'll get good 25 years -- yeah there's a very severe pitched roof which seventeen and a half twelfth yes and that really also influences the look of the then how about that chimney you know beautiful war. You've this idea of great job by himself so -- going to ruin nice job yeah he took the time but he's really crafted a beautiful chimney earnings ICU you've been trimming out the frame. They and hold the whole frame resolves that's right beside Ron now just finished all the trim and carnivores and -- and make -- you get built. Behind the corner boards felt behind the southern when the shingle it comes to bring his felt up to this and that's just gonna keep the whole house good and tight -- lot of laughs right over the course the windows we put him in last week and there may come pre trimmed I have to do with pop them into place they're nice and -- now yeah well like the order of the placement of the windows is -- fair amount of symmetry involved. And I guess because we have the high ceilings on the first floors from."
" That ceiling that bed so we had to hold them up as high as -- which means that they -- right under the eave line of the rough but it's an interesting look let's not sound like plumbers busy in this particular candidate John."
" What's this this is our out front closet for the coats and would be gone off or utilized that brought the heat -- coming through feeding a second law -- I deduct items in the air in the back time for a day but look at this kitchen space right now it has nice. Almost finished -- crank out windows we got all our. It's -- and we're just about ready for counters in the life Hamas violence though that the mechanicals to put an imminent decided that today. Are we really going to have all this plumbing exposed right over the front door well that's that's not an easy situation it's where we have to expose it without a car accident with the beadboard time. And that's really not much -- any other ways of doing it. So we will box that it will hide it where -- hide it. Okay we have one bathroom. Up here on the second floor. And it's right in the center of things take him how -- Let me interrupt you what we're goes in here I'm laying out the rough but yeah whirlpool tub to be installed by for the bathtub. Here in the cabin will drain out end directly below is our coat closet correct. So we don't have to worry about any exposed pipes there do it now none -- excellent okay and what's this one in here. This here as the band that's going to serve out. Okay so sewer gases go up that way and then time crops and come into the possible but once you explain. What we've got here is we were just standing down below and this is where the toilet drains out and incidentally it's. Terrible -- have the toilet waste pipe right over the front door you know. Yeah on this particular situation wouldn't have much choice that's what it to a -- would be. And dumb. I think if we blew. Foam insulation and air and -- beadboard around me you won't notice that little box that I guess that's a good -- maybe some fiberglass Sicily had grounded at the sound a little bit from the words -- sure so. Let's look at the rough here we've got. Is this a drain. That's the drain when these two labs and it but it cannot -- two lavatories. That I guess will be on a shelf in vanity. And how do you vent these these about it from into the main three and events that. You know what's behind here we have the -- vent stack for the building coming out. And this is a band that serves. The toilet and these two pictures these two laps."
" But the main problem we have in this house is so many skylights and so many windows. Massachusetts political requires there will be terminated through them role event has to be at least two feet. I'm Bob -- ten feet away from any opening."
" So you had to do a little bit of jogging in turning in order to meet that that code requirement. This particular case we're going to think about the market but I think we understand pretty well how toilet will work here on the second floor but we've also got -- going in the basement below grade can you explain how that works can take a look let's go down piccolo. In other ceiling height in the basement is eight feet so that he got you know. Big enough space that you have a ping -- we've had kids down here yet big windows lots of daylight and beautiful bathrooms so. We have a funny lay out right this is showers dissent."
" That's the showerhead you noticed. We've been closed Randall wood blocks here. And in order would stand because the main -- for the shower comes in the area we have to install a traps and want to -- that's going to. Before the waste but the child."
" All right if you back -- with concrete and then the waste from the shower pan over here the toilet and a quarter lavatory. The big problem is that we are below grade this pipe here is where the waste. Normally out of the rest of the house without the septic tank but here the waste is three people -- how do you deal that."
" Well basically the way it's set up as everything will gravity feed into this -- ejected -- down here this tank. Correct this is a down plastic thirty gallons to -- a canister. And inside here this dates who would you eject or pump with a polls which on. So everything from this battle gravity feed into the -- eject the floats which will come on -- upon come on. The waste would discharge in here in assuming. You're in good shape the powers correct."
