Here's some of the shelving. I put up. To get some organization of the stuff. Have room in the back of the bathroom for 2 more 8' sections and a 6'. Then another 8' and 6' in front by the over Head door if needed. That would be 8-8' sections and 2-6' sections in the side parts storage section. All 8' tall. And can add 3' extension to the top if needed. Down the road.

If I ever get this done. Any FJ Owner that is heading this way has a place to stay. It's just taking me so long. Doing all the work by myself. And working 2800--3200 hrs a year at my real job.

So haven't posted in a little bit.  So I'll update a little at a time. I poured the  slope for the  shower floor.

Thanks it's getting closer to being done. Just have a lot of little things to finish up. And maybe I can take a day off. Thought I would bring this a little more up to par.

I finished off the shower with a glass panel. Left enough room to get in with a walker. For a few years down the road.

Thanks to whoever fixed the pictures for me before I don't know why they keep doing that.

I fixed your photos.

I have found that uploading a photo directly from you phone can cause the photos to be turned 90°. The fix is to edit each photo by slightly cropping it before posting.

They  hooked it up in the street.  Never bothered pressure testing it. So  I  did it was loosing pressure. Slowly  over several days it would leak down. Crap. Now what I started freaking out.  I had mounted the incoming line to the stud it came out of the concrete right where the wall was. Entire down stairs had to be 5/8 fire rated drywall. So i had to tear it out of the wall. To make sure non of my connections were leaking.  Non were.  Now what.

That doesn't sound good Dan. Even in Texas all new construction requires a pressure test and the test witnessed by an inspector. Hope it is nothing serious. Very beautiful house.
A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

He had already buried it all finished and left. Then I tested it. I obsessed over it.  I  repeatedly tested it over several weeks. Was a really slow leak. I'm like if he comes back and it's not the connection on his end. Then he's going say "have to Jack hammer your foundation and the slab". With my hydronic pex lines in it. I'm like screw it. It's before the meter I'll just let it leak. Then my luck it'll wash away the dirt and eventually my house will cave in. I went back and forth trying to figure out what to do for3 months. Kept testing it hoping it would magically stop. Then I realized that every time I tested it. It would bleed down and stop at a slightly higher level than it was before.....so I  figured that there must be something inside the pex that's blocking it and it  bleeds past and equalizes the pressure and  stops... has to be  something that sealed it pretty good..only thing it could be is some concrete got in and hardened. Wtf. Am I going to do now. Decided to keep  adding air until I got it to stop at 70lbs. Then take the testing stuff off. And open the  ball valve real quick maybe it will push whatever it is out to  the 90...what have i got to loose.
Here we go. Open the valve bang!bang!bang! Sounds like it hit the 90.

Well here's what it was
