We replaced drains, toilets, sinks, shower heads and the water heater.
My house was built in the mid 1870s and encompasses approximately multiple square feet. It features the original hardwood floors, doors and moldings. There is a gorgeous fireplace in the bedroom, large windows in every room and a immense front porch, then unfortunately, the plumbing plan was also original when all of us first moved in. We were dealing with galvanized pipes that were rusted and jammed with. Since all of us were also faced with outdated electrical wiring that would not pass code and no centralized heating or cooling system, all of us decided to tear down all of the walls and ceilings. We needed access to the studs to replace all of the essential devices. The plaster and lath construction caused us a good deal of work and mess. There were sizable piles of debris and the dust spread everywhere. Once all of us got all of that cleared away and cleaned up, all of us attempted to complete most of the updates ourselves. Hiring a licensed plumber, electrician and Heating, Ventilation, and A/C dealer for the whole project would have cost us a fortune… My fiance and I were able to handle the majority of work. We managed to remove the seasoned plumbing pipes and install new ones. We replaced drains, toilets, sinks, shower heads and the water heater. We added electrical outlets and updated the light fixtures. We had no other choice but to reach out to professionals to construct and design the duct system. We also got into a exhausting situation with a corroded toilet stack and needed the assistance of a expertiseable plumber… Fortunately, our house is now all put back together, and we’re enjoying the efficiency and convenience of brand current plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling systems.
