More Bathroom Stuff

When we had left off last time, Our Fuzz had managed to get the shower base in place, and the drain line rerouted accordingly.

At this point we will need to backtrack slightly.

There was a bit more carpentry involved, and it was best done without the shower in the way.

This new shower was not quite as big as the old bathtub arrangement...

So it was necessary to put in a bit of wall to make up the difference.

After a couple of attempts, The Fuzz managed to get the top plate fitted to the slope of the ceiling.

All this was done before the shower base was installed;

since there would be no room to work on it then.

And of course, The Cautious Fuzz did not want to damage that expensive component.

This wall frame had not been fastened in place yet since then there would be no room to get the shower base in!

So it was removed and the base installed, as related in the previous post.

Once that was done, the wall was put back in, plumbed, and secured.

This wall was to be the location for the fancy new-

"One Handle Shower Valve".

This was meant to be installed through an access hole in the other side of the wall.

But here there was no such hole.

But Our Fuzz had a plan for that.

But first the supply lines needed to be put in.

New holes had been cut through the floor-

And new cut-offs put in under the trailer.

The lines were run with that pex pipe stuff.

Finally it was time for the sides of the shower!

First the base was secured with the provided clips.

Then came the back.

On the right, that black thing is the valve with it's protective cover.

Next the left side went in.

(All these pieces just lock together with tabs)

But now came the tricky part.

The Fuzz CAREFULLY measured (several times!) the place for the hole for that fancy "One Handle Shower Valve".

He used a hole-saw to make the cut, and that stuff was tough to cut through.

And amazingly...

It all fit!

Of course this job is far from finished...

But this Post is!

So keep checking Kinda Fuzzy;

The Fuzz promises to continue this tale next time.
