Normal Plumbing vs.Our Plumbing

11/21/12

Sometimes I just hate an old house.

One of those times is figuring out plumbing work.

But in our house:

  • The joists run the opposite direction, one is DIRECTLY under the new toilet waste pipe (and 1" off the shower drain pipe).
  • There are heating pipes under where the drain lines need to connect.
Neither is a deal-breaker, it just means we have to cut that one joist, put in new bracing (and a sistering joist) and do some hi-jinks to make sure all the piping runs properly AND avoids the heating lines. 

All of this while working in a space that looks like this:


Ew.
