Hello,
I am new to this forum so hopefully folks will forgive my ignorance. I am designing a simple Timber Frame that will have 2 floors with 2 full bathrooms on the 2nd floor and 1/2 bath + washer hookup on the first floor. My goal is to create a "wet wall" for these fixtures and NOT make any notches or modifications to the Timber Frame. This wet wall will not be an exterior wall as the site is in a cold mountain town. I do want to put the kitchen/DW against an east-facing window but hope to run the drain back towards the soil stack in between a joist. Does this seem like the most elegant solution to this design? I am trying to keep the plumbing simple so that the installation will be simple and relatively inexpensive. Do any of the folks on this forum have experience with Timber Frames and the challenges that they present? I am assuming the use of a wet wall and keeping pipes parallel to floor joists are a good start. I am just trying to figure out what a reasonable distance would be for that kitchen sink. The vent stack for these fixtures is also something I will need to figure out but I bet it could simply go up and loop back to the wet wall on the 2nd floor.
Thanks,
