Part 5/9:
Parallel to the electrical work, plumbing is addressed. Using easy-to-install SharkBite fittings, the builder runs PEX lines from the existing water supply toward the appliances and outdoor spigots. The plan includes tee fittings to supply water for a garden hose, with installation points carefully chosen for convenience.
Drilling through the wall for plumbing lines encounters similar challenges to electrical wiring — tough materials and tight spaces require attention and patience. Foam boards are used on the back wall to insulate the plumbing lines, with a focus on maintaining proper temperature and preventing freezing.
