the kitchen/washer side.

How about well-insulated pipes with a small recirculating pump? If it's a
new
house, of course. Tom
Work at your leisure!

my house is about 110' long and this is what i did. very much more
economical than having the expense of buying 2 water heaters, and paying to
keep 2 tanks hot.. you can put the pump on a small appliance timer to save
even more.
