We purchased a vacation home on Houghton Lake, Michigan, and we're planning substantial renovations next spring. The house is on a crawl space, the garage is on a slab, and two rooms that connect the house with the garage are also on a slab.
Amongst the many items that we'll be tacking is moving a bathroom, moving a laundry room and moving the entire water service and heat system.
As configured today, the hot water boiler/furnace, the hot water heater, the water softener and the well water holding tank are all positioned in a small room inside the garage. All of these items are within two years old, but having them in the garage presents several heating difficulties and other logistical problems.
I'll save several questions for several separate forums, but today I'd like to know how difficult it is to build a standpipe for the washer in the new location (on an outer wall)? I'd like to eliminate the need for a laundry tub.
I've also asked within a different forum whether we can convert the hot water heat system to a closed-loop, non-freezing system?
Thanks for your help.
