I want to add a small bath (shower, sink, toilet) in a 2nd floor gameroom. There is a closet it can be built into but there is no plumbing nearby to connect to. Closet is on inclosed garage room wall.
How does one go about this and what is an estimated cost.
Thanks to all who help me out. KiKi

Let me see. You're asking us to lay out a job with absolution no information or details as to the drainage. Without even knowing if this is on a slab or if you have a basement. The information that you're asking for can only be obtained if you furnish us with a detailed drawing of what you have and what you want. To give a estimate we would have to be on site to do it. In short, your question can not be answered with the details that you have provided.
Give us the details we need and we'll answer ASAP. Regards, Tom

Mr. Speedball replied to me with a rather harsh tone. I am a female whose husband is in Iraq and I am not educated in building or construction at all. I did not know what info was needed.
I want to add a bathroom with a sink, shower, and toilet into a closet area. I can put this bathroom up stairs or downstairs on a slab foundation. Both of these areas are next to the garage. I do not need an exact amount. I was wondering an appx cost of the plumbing and whether it is best to put it in up or downstairs closet. I have friends who can help with the wiring, flooring, etc.
There are no other bathrooms close to this area to run the plumbing into. I would appreciate any help anyone can give. Ki Ki

Hi Kiki,

I'm sorry if my asking for details disturbed you, but since you have still failed to furnish any the best advice I can give you is to call in a plumber that can answer your questions on site. As a rule when we are asked about rough ins we are furnished with all the details such as where it will be installed, What pipes are in place to be connected to and the code limitations on pipe sizes, vents, fixture placement etc. Sorry Kiki but your question's too vague to frame up a satisfactory reply. As for a estimate, I don't know of any plumber in the trade that will give, even a ball park figure, without first looking the job over for faults and problems he might run into.
I wish you well and while I do not support this war, as a combat vet I most certainly support and respect our troops. I sincerely hope you have your husband home safe and sound very-very soon. You have my heartfelt wishes on that. Regards, Tom
