Electrical and Plumbing Progress

I was able to move and connect all of the electrical connections and hot/cold water lines today. I'll be installing the vent pipe and hopefully some of the drain line for the sink and toilet tomorrow.

It's kind of disorienting to not have the outlets and light switches hanging from wires in the middle of the sink alcove. But it's also nice to have all the wires out of the way, too.

Here's a photo of the sink alcove. You can see the mirror/medicine cabinet, the sconce j-boxes on either side, and the two water lines coming down from the attic space. I'll install the vent pipe and drain tomorrow.

Here are all the electrical connections. There are three switches (for the sconces, the fan, and the light above the shower. There is also a GFCI outlet that feeds the entire run of electrical for the bathroom. In between the switches and GFCI duplex is a night light. Up top is the thermostat location that will control the electrical radiant floor heat. I've run some string in the conduit so I can pull the wires for the radiant heat system and the sensor from the floor up to the thermostat.

Here's a photo of the toilet wall. You can see the new vent pipe (that I still have to connect down below and up above). You can also see the water supply line for the toilet. I've also installed an electrical outlet that can be used for a bidet or other smart toilet accessory (like the Brondell Swash).

You can also see the boxes of 3/4" white hex tile in this last photo.
