    Here’s a plumbing tip from watching Mike Holmes’ shows- before glueing your piping dry fit them and use a sharpie so you have a alignment mark to match for placement, then disassemble and glue.
    Edit: Nail protective plates over your Pex to prevent possible leaks when you start doing your blue/green/cement board.

    When I built a cabin in the country many years ago I had to have a septic system for the bathroom and kitchen. Every thing worked fine EXCEPT it was slow. The venting was according to plan and passed inspection. But we found that once in the while we had to flush twice.So we added a 2" vent pipe from the septic tank thru the wall in the bathroom and up thru the roof. Now everything works great. It's been well over 20 years and still working.

    Just remember two things. The slope of the drain is 1/4" per foot and when you drop more than half the diameter of the pipe you need a vent to keep from getting vapor lock. Do go more or less than 1/4" slope. To much slope water runs off leaving solids and to little slope and the solids there will not be enough current to carry the solids away..

    Hole saw tip; On metal use some cutting oil. Also, start your cut just enough to make a mark. Then drill 4 to 6 holes spaced around that mark. The holes can be about the size of the kerf. On the hole you were making for your soil pipe you could have drilled 1/4", 5/16" or even 3/8". Try it, you'll like it.

    With you in the tub , it looked like a PERFECT place to put a small window so you could look out while you were relaxing in the tub ! It’s not like your neighbors are going to see you bathing ! It would be a custom fitting ! They stopped using those plastic fittings on This Old House , I guess they came apart after a few years . I’d use shark bite , they are more expensive but who wants to open a wall up in a few years and find a leak ! I know I mentioned this about the outside but , take pictures of everything inside with measurements ! We’ve been in our house 29 years and I can’t remember which ways things run or how high they are IN THE WALLS . Keep going you’ll get there !

    That washer drain box seems kinda low to what I’m used to seeing. Conventional washers fill up to a certain point and if the drain hose sits too low then the water continues to drain out and the washers never fills to its top level. Small load yes, medium load maybe, large load nope. Front load machines are no problem since they don’t fill very much anyway. The drain box should be nearly level with the back of the washer. www.thisoldhouse.com/discussions/topic/minimum-height-washing-machine-standpipe

      With the finite space the 2 shipping containers provide, moving the wall to recapture 1" is a good investment, seeing as how they're not on any timeline & they're only at the framing stage on the interior. I'm with Spencer on this one.

  • @jeffpitzer8521
    @jeffpitzer8521 4 года назад

    It's exciting to see your progress...as a metalworking guy I'd like to offer some advice.... the diameter of the hole saw you need to drill a toilet flange hole is obviously much larger than for say the saw needed to make the hole for 2" pvc. The larger diameter makes the surface speed of the teeth much too fast, especially for steel. You need a heavy duty 1/2" low speed drill to slow it down. Also lubrication will both help the cutting action and cool the teeth. I'd recommend thread cutting oil or tapping fluid. Also you may find it helpful to tip the saw and oscillate around the hole so only a few teeth are cutting at any given moment..that way you have more pressure so the teeth get a better bite... but be vary careful with the high torque drill and hold it vary firmly so if the saw binds you don't twist your arms off! We are just starting our journey of rainwater harvesting and container house building so we are enjoying your videos!

    Guys, I've loved watching your progress, makes me smile. When cutting steel slow things down, use cutting oil, and don't try to force the hole saw through, let the saw do the work. Doing this will extend the life of your drill and hole saw.

    Is anyone else concerned about the pex in the outside walls? I’m not certain where you are located, but in the Midwest we don’t put any charged lines in the exterior walls to prevent freezing/bursting (especially next to metal container which is a lot of mass to get cold). Maybe a reflective bubble insulation between the pex and the container before insulation? If you are foaming, you may be okay without it if the pex maintains an adequate distance from the container during the spraying process. Great progress guys!
