So I'm sure you guys are tired of hearing about this apartment build, but there is a couple of walls that I left open around the barhroom before I finally decide on the plumbing location and bathroom layout.
As you can see in the photos, I have an apartment on 1 half of the basement. All the other utilities are moved to my side so I have complete access without disturbing Tennant. The only issue I have is this main sewer line that they ran right smack in the middle of the basement when they built the house in 2000. This kind of screws up my plans and I had to work around it to come up with a layout which is inconvenient. Despite the minimal need to service the main trap, I still do not want it to be inaccessible and certainly not have to bother Tennant to access either. So as you can see in the plans, I came up with two layouts to work around it and utilized the same space to place the submersible sewage pump for service. The main line exits through the concrete and out to a septic tank. From there, another pipe goes to cesspool.
I guess in the best case scenario, it would be nice to have had this main sewage line enter through the wall on my far side of the basement like all the other utilities, so it wouldn't be an issue and I wouldn't have to take space away from the apartment and box around it. So I guess my question is, is there anything I can do or not seeing before I settle and finally build the walls around it? Or a way to clean up the pipe mess in that area and have it look neater?
