Day 2 (Tuesday) - More demo & some plumbing

  1. The flooring dried nicely overnight. :)
  2. The electrical  box at the shower entrance is history.  A new switch/ timer will move to a new "legal" location (code says it can't be within reach when standing in a wet shower.  I thought... "that's a little overly conservative," but shortly thereafter changed my mind when insulation of the white wire to the existing switch turned out to be abraded, apparently from a ragged edge on the box, & energized the box while Matt was removing it.  Eek!)
  3. The soffit & studs making up the NW corner of the shower are gone and the roof did not collapse, so they truly weren't load-bearing.  ;)
  4. The iron water lines in the shower have been replaced with PEX tubing and run to the E wall.
  5. New drain installed & re-centered (was off-center before).
  6. Dry rot was shaved off stud.
  7. We decided on an oval sink.
Net net - Good progress.
