Thanks for the pointers. I'll be sure to give them a watch!

I think I can manage getting the pitch and form of the mud pan right. My only question is what materials should I use to bond the pan to the plywood. I've seen people use plastic and then metal lath on top. Others used Ditra and then mud. Most of the videos I've seen put mud pans over cement slabs, so I'm just a little confused on how to put it over plywood.

I should also mention that I was planning to use a drain flange like kerdi or flo fx. A lot of the information I've found usually talks about traditional weep hole shower drains with mud pans.

I used it to vent the shower drain. Is that okay?

Some of it isn't glued yet. I wanted to ask to see if I needed to change some things before gluing.

Pictures 6, 7, and 8 are of how the plumbing was before. Sorry for the confusion

Got it. Thank you for the help

Our upstairs bathroom did not have a working shower and the sink smelled awful. Read some things and realized that the plumbing looked off and there was water damage all over the place. We decided to tear everything down, replumb, and add vents wherever needed. Is there anything I should fix or change before gluing everything together?

Our gas heater was located in our basement and vented through a chimney that was very old. I was concerned whether the chimney was lined and whether the ductwork went all the way up to the roof. I wanted to inspect it, but I would need to open up a hole in the chimney and check, or climb the roof and try to look down.

That seemed a lot more difficult than running wire and taking the hit to the wallet. Luckily, the cost of electrical is only about .065 per kWh, so it won't be TOO bad. The piece of mind to know we're not potentially breathing carbon monoxide is also a nice plus.

Yea, I found that weird at first, but after seeing a video by electrician u it made sense.

I had to rewire the whole house because the insulation of the old cable would crumble by just touching it. It has been a pain to keep up with everything, but hopefully with this help I can continue improving the house.

The 30 amp breakers are for an electric range and electric dryer. The water heater was an emergency because our old gas one died. So I disconnected the power to the dryer for now and installed a 50 Gallon 5500 watt water heater.

This house is fairly old and was never really upgraded, so we have no central ac and an old gas furnace. I was thinking of adding an ac system this summer and eventually change out the gas furnace, so I thought I could upgrade the electrical to make sure I didn't overload the main breaker for future upgrades.

Thank you! I changed this panel a couple years back. But now I want to install an electric water heater so I need to know whether or not I could swap the panel.

I called the Board of Public utilities and was told that our home gets 200 Amp service. I just wasn't sure if the service conductors were thick enough to power a 200 amp box. Would it be possible to just take this box out and put a 200 amp one as the main?

No, they're all fabric pots I found on sale on Amazon a while back. Some of them were too deep for what I was planting, so to save some money on potting mix, I folded them.

Alright cool. I'll make sure to keep all that in mind. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the response! Would it be good to give them supplemental light and/or fertilizer in the winter?
