The Great Reconstruction

[unixronin]

I've been promising (on LJ, at least) a photopost for a while now about the Great Reconstruction.  Well, it kinda went on and on as we found more problems, and the number of photos grew and grew, and ... well, to cut a long story short, instead of making a massive journal photopost, I've put the story on our webserver instead.

You can find the whole saga, to date, here.

"To date"?  Well, yes.  We were hoping to have the floor of the rebuilt hallway re-tiled by now.  But that's another story.  The pages will get one final update when the floor is done.  Trust us.  Would we lie to you?

Wow. Very interesting. We're now inspired to put up photos of the renos at the new house.

Fortunately, you're doing voluntary renovations, not repairs that you don't have any choice about. I imagine it's likely to be a lot less stressful.

A quick scan of the local hardware stores shows that 4" corrugated, perforated flexible plastic drain pipe, with sleeve, runs about $.80/ft. 4" rigid perforated pipe w/ bell ends runs $.75/ft, and you'd have to add your own filter cloth.

The flexible pipe in those photos is not sleeved.
