Starting a major project (Updated)
I am just about to close on a house that only has one bathroom on the first floor of a two story house. We are also looking at enlarging the kitchen by at least 2 fold (It’s really small!!). Anyway I am a little concerned about adding a bath upstairs, which may actually turn into tow baths…a master bath and a multi use bath. To save space the master will probably only have a shower stall.
The Multi Use bath will probably not be on an exterior wall thus resulting in putting the drains and plumbing through the floor. This part bothers me a little, especially if the distance from the exterior wall is too long.
I am by no means a professional plumber but I do have a lot of experience in moving bathrooms and installing new ones in basements…I am wondering how crazy am I to start a project like this…I know I may need to reinforce the upstairs floor (I can’t find a code on this…anyone have a guess?)
Basically this is just a warm up teaser of things to come…I am hoping I can rely on a few of the posters here as long as little professional help to get me on my way.
Any comments would be gladly accepted.
