We call it the Covid washroom

[LostAnotherOne]

Just completed my biggest project to date.  It was planned to be a 2 year project, but with being out of work for 3 months I was able to get it done.  The wife has a degenerative back condition and it's very hard for her to get out of bed and head downstairs in the middle of the night so I had to fast forward things.  She did all the designing which was great so I could focus on the tasks on hand.  Luckily through my work I call in plumbers and electricians on a regular basis so I was able to get all the info I needed from them.  The only thing that was in the room was 2 receptacles so I was able to connect from there to get lighting.  Surprisingly zero issues when I flipped the switch for the first time.  Zero plumbing upstairs too so I was starting from scratch.  Biggest issue was connecting the 3" toilet pipe into the main pipe.  Took 5 hours and 3 trips to the plumbing store.  Called a plumber after the second try, but they were so crazy busy it would of been over a week until they would come.  I'm sweating cause the wife is going to be home soon and I have like a 12" gap in the main line.  I went back and got a flexible coupler and that did the job.  First 2 tries I used a abs coupler and glued it, but just didn't work out.  One plumber told me it's against code and another said he would use a flexible coupler if your new to it.  Anyways I refused any hands on help from people except the wife as this is something I wanted to do myself.  Cost around $3500 for everything.  Now I have 2 washrooms in the house so hopefully the value has gone up.  The vanity was custom made.  Wife built it.

Very nice! I have MS, if I had thought that I would have gotten something like it I certainly would have opted to a ranch style home ( all one level ) than a 4 level split. Just something  to consider? With a degenerative back condition your wife may face more problems with things like stairs? They don't get any easier with age or medical issues.
