I recently bought a cape with a totally an unfinished attic. My wife and I would like to add two bedrooms and a half bath upstairs. Heating pipes and electric have already been run. So it is really just a matter of the bathroom and framining the walls.
I am wondering at what point I should bring in a plumber to run pipes to the second floor. I assume he is going to have to open a wall in the first floor bathroom to do it (the half bath will be directly above the first floor bath).
Since I am doing the work myself over time, it will be a while before the bath is finished.
So I have to two questions:
1) Should I bring in a plumber now, get and estimate and run the pipes before I do anything else?
2) Will I be able to find some one willing to only "rough-in" the pipe for the vanity and the toilet and leave everything else to the home owner?
Thanks for any help.
