The plumber is here making a base for the shower enclosures. You can also buy a acrylic base but it isn't necessary. A cement tiled base like this works great. (19-Jun-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

Sink plumbing. This sink is fed by 1/2 inch hot and cold pipes coming in and there is a drainage exhaust going out. The pvc pipes will later be cemented into the wall. dozerSep 28, 2011

For hot water plumbing this is the recommended way of doing it: copper pipe shielded with PVC tubing. It isn't that easy to find copper pipe or copper workman here. (02-Jun-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

This shows the simplicity of the plumbing. Each bathroom is serviced by two septics, one for solid waste and one for water runoff. Normally there will be three runoff pipe per bathroom as follows; shower, sink and a runoff for the floor drain. The pipes are run into the septic and then cemented in place.

The frame for a PVC bathroom doors are themselves made of PVC, and as such they need a support housing when they are being set-up, otherwise the weight of cement above the door will cause the frame to bend. (15-May-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

This shot shows the correct way of laying down a foundation base for bathroom, in that the floor of the bathroom typically is 10 centimeters lower than the rest of the house. Notice how the foundation base in this shot is lower for the bathroom than the main house. (12-May-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

A septic here is nothing but a hole in the ground with some cement rings inserted. The normal number of rings is 4, I would recommend using at least 5. The cement rings come in 1, 1.2 and 1.5 meter diameters, the one show here are the 1.2 meter size. (08-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

To allow extra light into the bathroom I like the idea of supplementing with glass blocks. They are inexpensive and when finished look really nice. (09-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

For a sink comparison, here is a pedistal model that comes with the base included. (28-Mar-04)dozerSep 28, 2011
