In reasonably boring news, I took down my vanities and removed the hardibacker from the wall today in prep for the contractors to do the minor plumbing fixes needed and so it can be inspected later. Since the wall is off, i'm probably going to replace the mirror electrical boxes with adjustable boxes and I might swap out the brass pipes with some copper stubouts. That one is up in the air though since the brass ones are working and i'm not sure I have enough slack in the blue PEX on the right to make the switch without adding a coupler. So far I've had 3 contractors come over and I've received one quote. I have another 3-4 contractors coming this week.

Why are your drainpipes level? Shouldn't that poo poo be angled to allow better flow and stop standing water and clogs and poo poo?

Looks like it slopes down to the left to me. Water only needs a couple degrees of slope to run.

Were they giving you poo poo about hacking up those studs? This is a scenario where you can flip the cutout and sister in a cripple. Fuckface the Hedgehog posted:Why are your drainpipes level?

Did you seriously cut out your studs to put in that pipe like that?

There were a lot of unrelated items on the quote, but the joist repair line item read as follows: Repair floor joist (ball park number may need to revise after architect and inspector give recommendations) - $5500 Slugworth posted:Looks like it slopes down to the left to me. Water only needs a couple degrees of slope to run. Drain pipes only need 1/4" slope per foot. That pipe slopes 1/4" per foot. OSI bean dip posted:Did you seriously cut out your studs to put in that pipe like that? It was the only way to get a 7 foot section of pipe into the studs that I was aware of. None of 3 contractors thought this was an issue, although I still plan on sistering the studs for sanity and goon satisfaction.

Ironically, one of those hammock tubs would have neatly alleviated the need for any floor there at all, much less floor joists, I say just remove the floor there altogether and go hog wild!

i'm probably just super weird about it but i'd straight up cut it shorter, install a small junction box near the top, and run a wire down to the outlet along the stud. if i bring the shame of loving up measuring a wire on myself, i gotta own it.

I can probably drill a new hole but If I have to go into the attic to fish it I'm gonna be upset. That's a bitch of a spot to get to in the attic. Also, no inaccessible junction boxes have been buried.

What if it went to the stud on the right instead of the stud on the left? Would that gain enough slack? Brb getting my drafting tools out

Bad Munki posted:GFCI probably means it'll have pigtails so those should be long enough on their own to actually reach out the back of the box, saving you several inches. And if you miss and hit the wire a few times with the hammer while stapling it, you should be able to get at least an inch or two more unless you hammer like a sissy This is why I like Bad Munki: always focused on solutions.

Technically, if you put the drywall up and paint and finish the wall first, you can later fish the cable and not necessarily be required to attach it to the studs.

I have a couple of AFCI breakers in my house, then there is one GFCI outlet downstream of a bunch of normal ones. Not sure if the AFCI breakers are also hooked to the GFCI circuits (never bothered to check), but almost all of my bathroom outlets are normal outlets with stickers on them with a feed from a single GFCI outlet.
