No water yet.
Had some family issues that I had to deal with.
Have about 6 more fittings to glue up, before I check all screwed fittings and look for unglued ones.
I need to wait until my wife leaves for work. The glue fumes bothers her allergies.

I used 9 valves, 3 of which are union valves, 11 unions, and 56 other pvc fittings.
Then 50'+ of 1" and 1-1/2" pvc pipe.
That is way to pretty to mess up........................LOL. Great job!!! Now just check out all the unions and make sure they are tight!!! Valves open and time for H2O

I'm glad it worked for you.
Ahh,, the plumbing came out, ok. But I see a couple things that weren't perfectly straight.
It helps when you use clear primer and clear glue.

Probably going to get another visit from the water company.
A few weeks ago I got a visit from them after I filled up a 265 gallon tote with ro/di water.
It took 4 days with the ro/di running around the clock.
They have constant flow detectors on all the meters. I guess it tells them when there is a leak.
So they showed up, telling me I needed to crawl under my house to find the leak.
They seemed confused as to why I would go through the amount of water I did just to get the 265 gallons.
Said it was going to reflect on my bill.

I guess there are sensors at the meters that are designed to send a alert if there is water flowing for a certain amount of time.
I guess that after 4 days of continuous water flow, they figured they would check it out.
I am on a private well system that I would guess only covers a couple square miles of homes.
