" Okay in this titled how the courses. Way up above grade and we will be connecting the deck back to it but I see that the electricians and started roughing it. You'll look -- to see some of the rough in kits for the recessed lights and indeed some of the copper has already been run. Copper forces the piping that's used to feed the new cold and hot water up to the new bathroom. And that PVC are those the plastic piping is what's used to carry away the waist as well as to vent the system up through the roof. And some of this has been done down here but what we'll take a look at how it's put together up on the second floor with Jack our plumber c'mon. The homeowners we're thinking about perhaps putting in a stack laundry but they decided to keep this for closets base. And so that the plumbing that the erupting here already. Is for the shower area which is done on the backside here and this of course meant that goes up the attic space but let's say hi to our plumber. Jack O'Leary project. About this -- let me interrupt you you're working on the general rock. Off of the vanity for all the plumbing right now right and of course you working with PVC. But let me just take you away from their permit that we get a better understanding of how the bathroom is laid out. This is the window that that we had to move two weeks ago so that we can. Actually have the addition come into the house here -- goes here we have a single level going there this is a toilet the toilet will be mounted over right where you are exactly. Now what about venting these two fixtures. That this is follow weapons that the wind events. Which you can -- to pictures. I think -- honest it's got that that Diana's two Italian tourist and different items on it and it doesn't matter that -- a toilet once the lavatory. No it doesn't day and then you'll be taking it through the roof up there that's what. The main stack the asked -- inspectors into the existing house will be time to -- with the roof. -- Which is how you go if you come up one position you want to go out of the group and another is right we'll why do you have to do that in Austin that the real close -- ridge. So we want to justify the redundant so be a little easier but it happen and we'll update seizure -- we get glued up so there's gonna. Clean the PVC. With this primer so that you always you always use an isolated area. This is very tall stuff it is. What -- blues and they also in the fittings. That's -- on real issues are solvent. So this ought to basically it's toughening it up and away it does and takes up. The coding of fell one of the pipe softens it up toward. But the glue bond together in little twist. And it sets up almost immediately it does right away -- you don't have much time to think about it just have to -- the pin this is gonna look get to Jonathan roof."
" The roof flange is basically an aluminum and rubber gasket in device that slips over the vent pipe keeps the weather out. It's attached by lifting up the asphalt roof shingles. And nailing it down. Through the tops of the shingles. With regular roofing nails. Once the flange is nailed down. A replacement shingle which has had a semi circle cut into it is applied across the top. A single -- with a semi circular cut out is used to fill in the area below the flange."
