Setting the bath house drain


We are planning a hot tub for the bath house so we felt it would be a good idea to have a floor drain just in case any leak would happen. As an after thought we think it would have been a better idea to have hidden the drain under the sink. You have to have a very skilled cement person to slope the floor in the right direction. We have realize it is not an easy task as when it rains we see the puddles form on the slab and not so much to the drain.

So here we are finishing the drain even to the slab. Since we are going to stain the cement we will place the drain slightly lower than even with the floor, so that most of the water will be directed there. It is a little tricky because you have to cut and cement the PVC before the cement is poured into the patch hole. The easy way is to place a board across the hole and dry attach the parts before you cement them in. This worked quite well for us.
After the cement set we
ground the ruff edges with a grinder.
