Week 36 – Rough Plumbing

The plumber is starting to run all the rough plumbing throughout the house.

One of the master bathrooms.

Plumbing will continue next week and the roof may even start. It will be a short week for Thanksgiving so we will see how much really gets done.

We are now at the point where the building envelope is being applied, and you really get a sense of the various masses of the house.
