I would like to turn half bath on first floor (multi level home) into full bath, but that part of house sits on concrete subfloor. The main stack would be easy to tap from the new tub area, just have to trench 5 feet of concrete floor. Can I also run water supply lines in the trench(under re-poured concrete) to the tub, and if so, copper or pex? Running lines on one wall is not an option because it is exterior, the opposite wall has the doorway opening and going overhead and back down seems stupid. Any input?

I still like the overhead and back down option. Because it still allows acess to the pipes if anything should happen. Burry it in concrete then anything becomes a major task down the road.

Just my 2 cents.

I think Smoothy's 2 cents is worth a lot more. Leaks in a floor, particularly if under a tub are $$$$$ repairs. You already have water to a sink and toilet, can't you tap off that line?

Hi dayslug...

It's unanimous, go above ground and use PEX... can't go wrong with this setup!

If you will be installing home runs back to a PEX manifold use 1/2" pex to everything. If you are going to be branching off a main line to each fixture run 3/4" PEX and then branch off with 1/2" to each fixture.

You guys are going to make me rip out even more perfectly good drywall to run these.(haha)
Thanks for the advice, all!

Hello there, I.m new at this website, I was just reading about the garage door chain to belt conversion post of yours and was wondering how dificult was it to make the switch to you since I.m planning on it.

I have a liftmaster garage door opener and don't know what other parts I will need for the job besides the belt and 2 pulleys.

I will appreciate all of your time and help, if possible.

Regards,

Sorry old ed but you need to start your own thread rather than tapping onto someone's old one. Look at the top of the page, see the ASK? Type your new question there. PS never seen a conversion kit for what you want to do. Consult Liftmasters website for more info, its made by Chamberlain Garage Door Opener Accessories from Chamberlain LiftMaster (http://www.liftmaster.com/consumerweb/products/ptlgdoaccessories.htm)

Correo300 -I went with a chamberlain whisper drive(belt) which replaced an old crasftman chain drive. The new opener came with new trolley and drive, so there was nothing extra I had to get. Simply remove the old setup and install the new, the link bracket to the garage door will be the same. I had originally thought that the new opener would only come with just the drive motor.
