Is it a good idea to purchse a home with NO basement ?
The reason i ask is because it needs a new Kitchen & i am
wondering
how
would i go about relocating the Electric line for the Range & to
move
the
Plumbing supplies & drain to relocate the Sink.
How can this be acomplished ?
I know with a Basement it would be an easy task.
Also what if i need to relocate the Cable hookup to another
wall,also
add
electric outlets.
Would this create a nightmare ?
Or can it be easily acomplished.
The home is in Pennsylvania.
Also there is no attic.
Any ideas & suggestions greatly appreciated.

Chances are pretty good the plumbing is in the slab and would
require
jackhammering holes and trenches to relocate it then patching the
concrete
which is difficult but doable..Wiring is probably above the ceiling
and
goes
down the walls....Plan on a complete gut of the kitchen which by
the
sounds
you are doing anyway...Probably not a DIYer project....Adding
outlets
in
other rooms probably would require holes in the ceiling and walls
that
would
require patching and painting...Not a nightmare for pros but could
be
for
a
DIYer...Expensive as well , especially the kitchen
part.........HTH...

I didn't infer "slab" from "no basement."

If there is NO access under the house it must be on a slab...I've seen
a
few
houses like he described...Usually a modular or stick built ranch on a
slab..Yes , even in the northeast...LOL....I guess I infered right....

No basement typically means "crawlspace" in the northeast. Slab on
grade
construction doesn't generally cut it with the frost depths up there.

BULL****...There are TENS OF THOUSANDS of homes here in Maine , NH , Mass
,Vt. , NY , ect , built on SLABS...Not to mention all the mobile homes ,
garages and sheds sitting on slabs....Your full of **** clear to your
ears....No basement does NOT typically mean there is a crawl
space...You're
an idiot....Have you ever even been "up here" ??? LOL....

Ah, I see you're another trolling child. Grow up.

what you're not gonna back up your bull****....Typical of somebody who has
been shown for the idiot they are....Call me a childish name , then run and
hide...LOL...
