My house is one level with attic and crawl space, it has one bathroom
only, but, my master bedroom has a "room" that has a sink, and a door
that also lead to the bathroom.
My plan is to convert this sink room to a full bath room. the existing
sink and cabinet is rather large and I could see a small vanity,
toilet, and stand up shower can be added to this room making a 2nd
bathroom.
The question I have is of course the plumbing, can the supply all tap
off the faucet of the sink even for the shower?
A fan and vent needs to be added, can it go up the attic and tee into
the existing bath's vent? The 2 fans of the new and old bathroom
would only be about 5-6' apart. That way I do not have to cut up the
roof.
I need some advice for the draining, I assume the sink right now
drains to some main line under the house. Would the toilet and shower
be all using the same drain?
Would I need to replace the drywall with concrete board?
Is there anything else I didn't think of?? any advice is appreciated.
It's not recommended/allowed, but it's possible to run both
fans out one vent.
The Hot/Cold supply are the least of your worries.
The drainage may be the biggest issue. There are some quite
complex problems to be looked at which need professional help.
Have a plumbing contractor look at the situation and advise
you of costs. In fact, maybe do this first so you can see
if the budget will allow the project.
I would also make a detailed scale drawing of the room
and proposed layout and take it to the town building dep't
to see if it will meet code requirements.
