To you, my house, I give a bathroom subfloor. After lots of measuring, cutting, and some re-cut around the crap pipe circle, I finally got the plywood down for the subfloor. I had to slice it into a few pieces to make sure I could slip the wood under the crap pipe lip to support it, but all and all, it didn’t go too bad. I’m partially deaf now from running saws in the garage and I’m sure the neighbors appreciated the noise at 12:30am. Next is the finish wood which should be equally as exhilarating.
I can’t remember if I mentioned that the supply valves are done for the sink and toilet too. No, they aren’t perfectly straight. Dan, remind me to take that tie wrap off the hot pipe before the walls go up.
Spread this post like the disease it is:

Well it seems you are getting work done, just remember that slow progress is still progress.

Personal recommendation, if/when you replace indoor valves, go with the ones that aren’t circular. Use the ones that resemble the ones used for gas pipes (handles, not circles)… makes life A LOT better!

Yeah, they’re marked most of the time as LP Gas. That’s what I used for all the supply lines in the basement and one right after the water company’s meter so I can shut the whole house off without messing with their old, shitty valve. For sinks and toilets, they actually have a 1/4 turn valve with a knob that looks like the traditional type that you see pictured here. That way it looks nice and also has the same reliability of the ball / vinyl ring that a 1/4 valve has. I agree that they’re the way to go. Always.

“Partially deaf”! “Crap pipe”! Hahaha!
