Day 12 - Plumbing Day - You Know You Are in the New South When Your Plumber's Name is Bubba and He Arrives in a Corvette

Do not forget to click on the pictures to enlarge them.

Robert "Bubba" West Junior is the plumber of record on our new home.

Nixon had his group of "plumbers" and here are mine. Rich - Jamie Elkins - Bubba West - Gary Shiver - and Steven.

This is the master bath with a separate tub and shower. It is a long way from taking my baths in a metal tub in the kitchen in front of the coal stove back in Appalachia in the 1950s. Lulu and I picked out the doors - windows - and bath tub today. 


This plumbing is for the laundry which is connected directly to a walk-in closet and the master suite. That deep ditch going away from you will be the back wall of the house. The blue shirt guy is standing on a 10 x 60 foot back porch.

You know you are in the New South when your plumber named Bubba arrives in his Corvette convertible.

BMF stand for Big Mutha - you finish it. Notice that he graduated from Bubba University.

This is facing south. The foundation is almost ready for pouring. There are three natural gas outlets to install for the fireplace - the stove - and the water heater. There will be gas outside for a fire pit and a grill. Later today - Gary is installing the anchor bolts to tie down the walls and the hurricane straps. The house should be able to stand 150 MPH winds - its the new law. 

The water is temporarily hooked up ready for inspection tomorrow.
