The pieces
Onto the bathroom. This is the most complicated and time consuming part of the build thus far. There’s a lot going on with two sliding doors, a sink, shower head, window, light, fan, and some crazy toilet hiding behind a door.
Sink
I couldn’t find a sink and needed one to pass the motor vehicle inspection so I just made a quickie. It’s ok, but very small and will likely be impossible to clean. I’ll use it for a while and see how it goes. Update: This sink is fine. I used epoxy to make a slope in the bottom. If I do it again I’d use a steam pan, see paper photo.
Bathroom Plumbing
The plumbing wasn’t so bad, just tight. I had to change many of the fittings on the bathroom fixtures. I’ve put in over 250 pex crimp fittings without a leak. Installing this contraption resulted in 6 water leaks. Beware of Chinese quality and thread incompatibility. I tried to buy very high quality components but still had issues.
Sliding Door
Next comes the large sliding door. There is a definite order to these things. No way to skip ahead because everything is interconnected. I spend a lot of time sitting and staring. I think the visual part of my brain must be twice the size it was before the build. Here I am trying to work out the layers.
Finally settled on a design that was strong enough to hold the door up and yet light enough. It’s insulated with the pink stuff and yes my tv will be attached.
Here’s a shot of the door closed with the edge of the tv showing. I was very happy to find the that the door came flush with the opposite wall to seal the shower.
