Our Home Building Journey with Wayne Homes in Northwest Ohio: Plumbing

Plumbing Day 2

They finished up most of the plumbing today. They have all of the septic pipe ran and they have the PEX pipe ran up to where the vanities, toilets, and bathtubs will be. It looks like they ran PEX throughout the house, which confused me a little bit because when I asked to use PEX they told me it was an $800 upgrade which I did not want to pay for... Anyways, they also plumbed in the bathroom in the basement and set the crock for the basement plumbing.

They will be insulating all of the exterior walls and pouring the basement floor tomorrow. The plan is to start dry walling next week. I will be running my Ethernet and putting up my insulation in the garage before they start dry walling next week.

Here are the pictures of the plumbing that happened in Day 2

Roof/Plumbing/Electrical/Stone for Basement

A lot of work was done today, they completed the roof and electrical.They put stones in the basement, and started on plumbing!

We met with the Electrician this morning at 8:15am to do a walk through and change any outlets or add any cable runs that we wanted. We had originally budgeted about $750 for extra electrical that we wanted to add later, let’s just say we doubled that after everything was said and done... Wayne Homes includes 2 cable runs and 2 land line runs, we decided not to use the land line runs and substituted that for cable which was no extra cost. We added a bunch of can lights, electric outlets for T.V's that we are hanging on the wall, lighting for above the kitchen cabinets, wiring for a disposal, and a couple of outlets in the garage. When we were walking through the house I was shocked at how many people were working in the house. They had 4-5 people running wire throughout the house and they were moving quickly!

As we were leaving from our electrical walk through the roofers showed up and started shingling. They had 3 guys up on the roof shingling different sides of the roof and they looked to be moving fast, I was really impressed with the amount of people on the site at once and how well everyone was working in their own areas.

When I got off work, we stopped by the house and the guys had just finished spreading more stone down in the basement and when I talked to them they said they will be back on Thursday to pour the concrete in the basement, front porch, and the basement! During the walk through we noticed that the bathtubs had been moved into place and there had been some pipping ran into the tub area which was a good surprise.
