We have finally given the toilet a final resting place. It has been in three places, and something was wrong each time, either for drainage, room, or "comfort" when sitting down. It is finally kitty-corner, just opposite the shower...and we think it will look great. Regardless, that's where it's staying, as it's plumbed in!! The tank you see is the macerater/pump. The toilet will sit directly in front of it. 
Earlier in the week Bill & Robert ran some plumbing, and Bill continued through some of the week. On Thursday, Bill & Robert did the "UCKY" job and cut into the black pipe to hook in the toilet. I only have pictures of the job afterward, as it got to be a bit exciting (lets just say it's a good thing Robert had safety glasses on!), and it WAS NOT time for pictures! Here is the pipe put back together, and Robert cutting joists for drainage line. He got a little artistic too. Always time for fun! Finally the drywall in the garage goes back on. 
Most of the drain pipe is run, the vents for the drains, and the exhaust fan is vented as well. The next phase is water into the bathroom, and the drains from the sink, shower and tub hooked up. Then the "TEST" to make sure that the macerater works and the water is pumped up. Then we can get into flooring and drywall. Yahoo!! It's coming together, slow but sure.
Here are some pictures of progress....the vent for the fan was a bit tricky! As Bill was drilling through the side of the house with the 4" hole saw, he decided just before he went through that he would check out where it came out with a drill bit. THANKFULLY, he did this, and it was 2" below our FRONT DOOR!!! Goodness, it would have been wonderful to have a 4" dry vent right under the door!! I am so glad he checked. The vent now runs across the ceiling and drops 13" to get vented outside under the porch!!
