Default Adding a bathroom in the basement


"Scooter" wrote in message
oups.com...
My house was built last summer with drains prepped in the basement for
a bathroom; a toilet and sink drain were placed and the concrete was
cut where a shower would be placed. What will I need to do to connect
to a vent for the sink? How difficult is it to install the trap for
the shower? Finally, if I connect a second sink for the bar to the
drain for the bathroom sink, how should I connect the vent?



One word of caution. If you get the permit, by procedure or law, all permit
info is passed to the Tax Assessor. Any improvements will be duly noted by
the taxing authority and your taxes will probably go up as a direct result.
I made the mistake of getting a building permit for some temporary roof
repairs and I have been paying higher taxes as a result of that permit.
