1) Do I have to use Cast or can I use PVC for the stuff I'm putting in?
2) With the layout and location of things, it's...

Cool. That's what I was thinking, I just didn't know. I wasn't sure if I should cut the sheetrock to follow the floor line then, too? Obviously going to want to put up some baseboard to cover...
