Bathroom Update

So I managed to retain all my fingers today, and that's always a good thing. All the HardieBacker is now installed, with the exception of the wall with all the plumbing fixtures. I also managed to get all the pipe sweated in and will test for leaks tomorrow (everyone pray that there are no leaks). After I check for leaks, I'll put the rest of the HardieBacker up and then it's time to install the final layer of deck mud. I'm amazed that earlier this week I thought, "I'm gonna install the remaining moisture barrier, put up all the HardieBacker, sweat the rest of the pipe, check for leaks, and get the rest of deck mud in." I was telling Sandra tonight that it seems that no matter how hard and fast I feel like I'm working, I always feel like I don't get as much accomplished as I want. Oh, well.

Almost ready for tile!!

All I have left to do before I'm through with the plumbing is cap off one pipe in the attic and then test the system. Kinda scary.

This is how I plan on testing. I've created caps that screw onto all the fixtures, so all I have to do is put some teflon tape on the threads, screw 'em on and and let'er rip. And hope that water doesn't start squirting all over the place.
