Most of the day was spent screwing around with this damn joint. Apparently the Nibco wye fittings are really tight on the inlet. Twice I failed to get this joint to work.
Even wrenching on it hard enough to rip out the straps.
In the end, I ended up splitting the pipe going into the wye and pulled the whole 3" assembly out so I could get better leverage. I basically had to lean all my weight on it to get it to go together properly. The other wye was similarly obnoxious, so I installed the pipe into that one too while I was at it.
I got the dry fitting done for the shower drain.
I had hoped to finish the sewer lines today and work on the supply tomorrow. I forgot to post it yesterday, but I did the detailed design of where I wanted the manifolds and the like for the supply lines. In case you have forgotten since yesterday, I really hate plumbing, especially given that I should have done it from the ground up instead of top down.
