2008_03_21 Plumbing continues-Red is hot and blue is cold

The plumber and 2 helpers were back this week. They got most of the stuff done with roughing in the faucets in the bathroom showers and upstairs tub.

The pipes are not copper. They are a very hard plastic type of pipe. The red ones are for hot water and the blue ones are for cold water. The man from Lowe's who came on Saturday to measure for the kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity and linen cabinet, make up area, etc told me that this stuff is really great. He says that even if it freezes it won't burst it just blows up like a balloon and then when the ice melts it resumes its original shape. It's hard enough that you can't mash it with your hands, but it does bend some.

This is the stuff that will be behind the tile in the shower and will control the fixed showerhead.

Across the shower is the control for the hand held showerhead.


Below you can see where the tub filler, 2 faucets, and the hand held sprayer will be on the tub upstairs.
