Great Room Build

Makin me hot and tired just looking at this thread. Looks great!

Lost almost 30 lbs this summer. Gained 2 inches on my biceps, and 1 inch on my forearms. I started a diet/gym and this is only helping.

Cool, I'll PM you.

The inspector is going to make you fire block that framed ceiling. Also, typically the HVAC and plumbing is done before the electrical work, this way you don't wind up moving stuff that you already did. Otherwise, looks great. Good Luck!

Had a meeting with inspector this morning. Will use a combination of roxul and wood for fire block. Doing a split pack for hvac. I am on it. It’s been bleeping hot.

Starting the low voltage stuff. All surround sound equipment will be in closet with HDMI, Cat6, Speaker wire, etc. running wires for cameras as well.

 

Always run wire for security stuff.  I can't tell you how many homes and commercial buildings I've broken into in a matter of minutes once I find that their security system is wireless.  That's like an open invitation.  So I am glad to hear you're hardwiring.  Your inconvenience is mine too (the criminal that is)....

Yes sir. All hard wired with back ups and remote storage.

Should only have to firestop/draftstop at the top and bottom plates and the intersection of wall framing and rafters at gable end. Also firestop and penetrations that lead from one wall to the opposing (90degree) wall

Got about 1/2 way done with plumbing. Should be able to wrap it up by Saturday. A little too hot to work now.

Electric rough will be done tomorrow, it’s 95% done. Played with shower valves today. We will have rain head, 3 body sprays, and a hand held. You can use one or two at any given time. Cast iron shower pan arrived today as well and a 20 yard dumpster swap out. Looking forward to cleaning this place up for inspections later this week. I know I have some fittings and screws to add to the plumbing..

You may wanna feed shower diverter with 3/4 pipe..
Those body sprays might not get enough pressure if opened with other valves..
Did a job a few years back and it was an issue.. but apparently with the design of the faucet. They weren't massaging heads, just a light rain. I could pee with more pressure.
Company said that's how are designed..
Oh well. Customer picked his own faucet out.. nothing to be done as it had numerous body sprays and they were all useless.

Nice following along.

Bringing 1” as the main line then 3/4” into the diverter. Kohler calls for 1/2”. I have installed about 4 of these in the past 4 years. Most important is get the 3/4” into the diverter. We have stupid pressure in this town. Some houses in my neighbor hood have 120psi and have to have reducers. I think we are around 90.

Electrical inspection tonight. Will push off plumbing till next Monday. I do not like soldering because I have never been able to make it look as good as the pros. These are the risers that will come from the meter and water heater to the space. Going from 3/4 copper to 1” pex.
