Here is the completed drain piping in the bac
k of the garage. The white pipe is 1-1/2" PVC. The washing machine will discharge down through this pipe, into the trap (U-shaped piece) and into the 2" PVC horizontal run that tee's into the 4" tee (black fitting). The 2" PVC runs horizontally through the wall to the Southern side of the basement, where we will tie in the laundry sink and kitchen sink. For those engineering-minded folks, we skipped the vent, which is a code no-no, but since this is Vermont and we do what we want, we are putting in no vent. We don't really need a vent for this, the trap arm is so short. There is another code violation here though; the "filling head" of the trap is greater than 24". In retrofit situations, you cannot always follow all the codes.

Shirlsd asked where are children were, they are safe, just working.
Billn finished pulling wires to the guest/craft room, pulled a lot of wires out of the old electrical panel, made custom nailers for the kitchen ceiling and completed insulation in the kitchen and dining room. Jenm led a cleaning effort.
Also, before going to the house Saturday, we visited our local farmer's market which was nice.

self-reporting violations ... nice touch. and what's cooking? also, i see the red handled tongs to go with other red handled tools - while you are wearing your blue overalls. nice touch. (btw, the dirty liberal ... is a wise person.)
The dirty liberal isn't that wise, but he isn't dumb. Very observant on the red handled tongs matching the favorite Knipex pliers.
