I want to add a shower to an existing half bath on the first floor of my house. The bath is on a slab and the existing plumbing is run through that slab. I've attached a (badly drawn) floorplan to help show what I'm talking about. The new shower is shown in grey on the floorplan and is going into space that is currently part of the garage. Getting water to the shower won't be an issue, however I'm having trouble figuring out how to drain the shower.
The main floor of the house is about 1 foot (or two cinderblocks) higher than the garage floor, so I'll need to build up the floor under the shower to make it even with the floor in the bathroom. The bathroom is reasonably new with a tile floor that I would like to leave intact. From the garage side, the lower foot of the wall between the bathroom and the garage (the part that is under the house's slab) is cinderblock. I'm wondering if it might be possible to go through that cinderblock wall from the garage and access the toilet's drain from under the slab. Hopefully I could then install a T connection for the shower.
Do you guys think that might be at all feasable? Do you see any other good way to drain this shower?
Thanks much,
Brett
