Installed the flexible ducting and wiring for the holding tank sensor, then finally and permanently installed the shower pan floor base, toilet flange and the first part of the tank vent pipe that comes up through said floor.
Once the ABS adhesive had setup, I then filled the holding tank completely with water to start its extended leak test to ensure that no water leakage occurs before buttoning up front walls of the new bathroom and starting the fiberglassing process of the floor pan and four inches up the walls to make a water tight shower pan, after which I can start attaching the FRP paneling to the inside of the bathroom and making it a nice water tight wet bath.
The shower pan fiberglass area will get a two part piece of FRP glued over the top of the fiberglass work to give us a textured white floor (Because trying to do Gel Coat is beyond my skills, and paint won't last when the shower gets cleaned with comet where as I know FRP will hold up, as its the same stuff I used when I remodeled the bathroom in Mr. KIT and it held up very well.
