I was working on a large plaster restoration project in Philladelphia about 10 years ago. I'm patching a wall when I see an old electrician and his apprentice. Then I hear a conversation I will never forget. "Hey kid, stick your hand in there" Needless to say, this got my attention. Apparently they were trying to find a live wire that was buried inside of a column. So of course, the kid sticks his hand into the column and promptly gets himself zapped. The journeyman says "did you find the wire?'. The apprentice replies "No!". Old timer says "Stick your hand back in there then". The apprentice yells "Fuck you!" It was at that moment I was glad the plasterers union called before the electricians did.

That's the cleanest job site I have ever seen. It's so neat that the building supplies have been put away.

Amen. I'd hammer on that frame anytime.

That sounds pretty cool! It's better to have electricity close by than none at all.
I take it the ceiling fans aren't for the bathroom...

I have to post a couple of pics from that job I've been working on. After all that hassle to get a permit to use Pex, the inspector wanted to know if he could use it at his place and was on his way in less than 15 minutes.

I also have a shower that I just finished that looks pretty nice.

No worries for me. I am trying to convince these building departments that you should be able to use pex here and not just sneak it in.

What kind of shower fixture? Body sprays, hand held ?

Read the manual. Is all I gotta say. And since you did Pex all around. I assume you dont have to solder. If you have to Solder, you got ONE take. and thats it.
