Re: Adding A New BathroomQuote:
How many bathrooms do they have in that attic anyway? Have you mentioned to the owner of the house that a turd traveling from the attic to the basement will travel at appx. twice the speed as a turd launched from the 1st flr.? Good stuff. You should tell him

Re: Adding A New Bathroom
Why would anyone have a bathroom in their attic, let alone wanting another one?
You don't need an attic bathroom. you need a balcony and a 5 gallon bucket http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/206298/ Last edited by A W Smith; 08-14-2009 at 10:01 PM. Reason: grammer |

Re: Adding A New Bathroom
What sort of shower? What sort of Basin? What sort of Toilet?
That job could take anything from 3 days to 13 days depending on what stuff you are thinking of using and how complicated the bathroom build is going to be. I take it you are going to be pipeing into the vent stack for the toilet soil and if so you need to make sure it's at least 3" as most vents reduce down to 2" below the attic. Also you need to make sure you have enough head of water to power a shower and fosets as thats pretty high up. If it's a pumped system then you will need a negative head pump also. Unless they already have a pumped system for water in the attic? There's to many unknowns when it comes to plumbing and it may seem simple but could be a complette nightmare.

Re: Adding A New Bathroom
My wife grew up on the third floor. In Sicily. They had a chamber pot that was emptied into a hole in the floor as needed.
45 minutes to saw a 4" diameter hole x $15/hour = tree-fiddy. |

Re: Adding A New BathroomQuote:
14 days covers me for a 14x8ft batroom with removeing all tile on walls and floor all fixtures out. Re-pipe bath and shower, Leave basin wastes and supplys, make walls good and fit shower tray and bath, retile half wall and all floor and fit cabneits. That should more than cover you. |
