HI everyone,
My first post here, Firstly Huge respect to pro plumbers. I've fully or partly remodeled about ten bathrooms and I do less and less of the actual plumbing each time! this helps reduce screaming.
I'm moving from CA to Austin TX where i can actually afford my own home. The House is 1968 ranch built on a slab. There was a game room added in the backyard with no plumbing but it has AC and power. We want to turn it into an in-law apt.
We can run the water through the attic (roofing connects the game room to the main house). I found rear flushing toilets so these and the sinks can drain and vent outside the walls like a brick house. My problem is with the shower. I really don't want to build a fake floor under the whole bathroom or just shower if i can avoid it.
I was thinking of building a custom pan that drained to one side (wall side) then out and into a p-trap, or could i run horizontal 18" or so from the center? seems weird to have a p trap outside.
It's the p-trap issue that's thrown me I had spaced about the need for one until being reminded while searching other threads.
I doubt there's any sewer lines under the game room so i guess i'll have to trench through and try to connect with the sewer for the main house, any advice or foreseeable problems?
