A better view.

Finally I was able to use the drill bit as a router, and the piece fell out.

Some moisture resistant sheet rock was used to interface with the backer board. It was planned such that there is a stud directly behind the joint.

On this south wall, the studs cannot be furred to match the concrete because there is a doorjamb involved. So out come the mason grinder and breaker-bar.

It fit!

Attached sheet rock to wooden strips. The rest will be done during the cabinet installation... I think.

Who knows why, but there was wood added as a spacer on the left supply pipe. The uneven height is unsightly.

Alright, this part was fun. Guys like to wreck stuff. Looks like an earthquake.

Here is the new stud, approximating the 16 inch on center with the stud to the right of the wet vent. On the lower left corner, a section of upright 2X6 had been previously sawn off! So you can see what was added in order to support the backer board.

Grouted toilet flange surround.

Cleaned up the floor.

This tile setter is awesome. That's why he was chosen for this job. I don't see how he could start from the outside to the corner. I would have matched the grout lines from the corner and worked my way out. Oh well, I guess that's why he's doing the work and not me.

This is the type of fitting I used to do most of the replumb for the Tankless Hot Water Heater. They really are fantastic for copper or cpvc - just push onto the end of the pipe (be sure you have full insertion - sometimes marking the correct depth on the pipe is helpful) and it "bites" right away. No glue or solder required. Very hard (like impossible) to remove unless you have the removal tool.

Removal of old pipe and old culligan filter housing in prep for install of chlorinator and new culligan filter housing.

First yarn dyed on the CPVC board. Jaywalker socks.

Here you can see the silhouette of the simple CPVC pipe that allowed me to clamp my GoPro on the kite. My only suggested improvement would be either more wind or a bigger kite to sustain flying times. All in all it was very successful!

Now that these supplies are now on a level playing field, I replaced the conduit straps with these copper 2 hole straps.

In order to pressurize the nozzle stem, I had to temporarily install the valve handle.

Entire section of the wall exposed. It is in good shape, thank God.

Here he started enclosing the curb. These grout lines are aligned with the grout lines on the back wall of the shower.

First thing to do is get rid of the faulty plumbing. The owner decided to go with a heavily guaranteed UV PEX. This stuff seems very very strong. I would not be afraid to use it. Also notice, removal of the rotten wood has begun.

The original clamshell cultured marble basin. The owner hates the fake marble, but actually likes the clam shell design. I wonder if one can be found in porcelain or ceramic?

This photo shows a 643-series CPVC transition fitting used at the water heater. This photo was taken on a job site in southern California.

Now the joint is funny looking, but flush and solid.

This valve was leaking for who knows how long. This grew mold, attracted termites and outside roots. It also destroyed the wooden framing through dry rot.

It worked OK until I got to the edge of the "pedistal." The entire pan was made of 2 inch thick mortar. Well, that is basically sand, so it crumbled against the lightest of blows.

The floor stud (don't know proper nomenclature) had to be replaced due to termite damage, as did the wall stud adjacent to the electrical receptacle.

Cut down some planks and made strips.

There was nothing to attach the left edge of the new sheet rock to. So I added some 2X4 sections to the existing stud.

Rear view of the water softener and iron filter. The pressurized aeration tank is shown on the right. The entire system was hard plumbed in copper for potable water, and cpvc drain lines.

This north wall was constructed for the cultured marble, and had a center to center distance of 22 inches! So I added another stud.

The other end of the 2X6 surrounds the wet vent and attaches to another 2X6. The same treatment was employed here.

The feces (I think) from the termites is visible on the wall. These studs actually came out with NO damage to the bedroom wall.

Culligan HD-950 filter housing installed on the wall, anchored to a wall stud, and ready for piping.

I then transferred these dimensions to the cut sheet rock.

Couldn't reach the nail heads with hammer or pliers. So I had to bust it out.

Completed valve trim installation.

Bad wood removed from north shower wall.

Now it is time to see what is behind the west shower wall. This bathroom WILL NOT be rebuilt until it's integrity is verified. The insulation will not be replaced because the back porch was enclosed, making this now an inside wall

Around the valve we go. I don't know why, but he didn't use the "non slide" thin set. He used spacers on every tile and the lines ended up virtually perfect!

Exposing the inside of the south wall of the shower revealed much termite damage, but virtually no dry rot. And the plot thickens... only the beginning.

The "one hole straps" used to hold the copper should have been made of copper, or insulated with something. Intimate contact with dissimilar metals is undesirable.

It is customary to finish the walls first. However, since the floor was re-poured, we felt it better to ensure it's integrity prior to going further.
