Yesterday we had a job to install a shower unit. This was a first for me. We've installed plenty of plumbing for showers and tubs, but this was the first time I got to experience the process of installing the actual shower unit like the floor piece and walls. The Master caught out the floor and began the plumbing for the unit. Then a piece of plywood was cut to size and placed in. Once this was installed and level the Master began to mix mortar. After properly mixing the mortar and laying it out we placed the floor piece on top. It was impressive seeing how much work the Master put in to making sure the floor piece would be level.

Once this was done we moved on to installing the wall pieces. This was more complicated than I expected given the walls of the bathroom. I tried to make sure to observe and pay attention to the creative steps the Master was taking to insure it was done properly all while not stepping on the floor piece because the mortar needs at least a day to set. image All in all it was one of the most interesting jobs I have got to assist with so far. #Plumbing
Yesterday the Master removed a foreign object from inside of a toilet. He was stuck near the bend of the inner trap. He removed the toilet then attempted to grab it with a small snake-like tool. Unable to grab the object with this tool as well as push far enough out one way he then flipped the toilet while inside a showertub. The object mades way out during the flip. It was a vaping device. It was large for one of these devices. A rectangular prism about 3.5in x 2.5in x .75in. #Plumbing
