Plumbing..

Sorry about the delay, the internet that we share from the neighbours hasn't been working all too well so I didn't get much chance to upload any new items.

I forgot to take pictures, because we were so busy with our plumber. We found a charming, very charismatic gentlemen who charges a reasonable amount. He's very knowledgeable. We would of course do the plumbing ourselves, however the local plumbing and electrical mafia don't allow that. The work is going well. We have pretty much all the drain/air venting plumbing done. Some of the water hookups are done as well.

They have a crazy rule here in Hawaii, which actually comes from California. All water/gas/drainage needs to be water/pressure tested. For the water and gas lines they use compressed air to test the system. For the drainage and air venting you need to fill all the drainage pipes to the roof vents, believe it or not. This is craziest plumbing situation I have ever heard of. It seems insane. You could never do this in Canada because in winter the pipes would free on the job site and burst by the time the inspector arrived there.


Notched our concrete for our air vent and bathroom sink drain.

Plumbing in ground before burial.

Most of the kitchen rough in work done. Gas line still needs to be put in.
