Finally decided on the bathroom layout, bought the new tub today. Here's the plan:
- this is a first floor bathroom, right now there is no ceiling in the basement, but we'd like to put one in later, so we want to keep the pipes out of the way as much as possible.
- the far left is an outside wall
- the bottom left hole is the approximate location of the stack in the basement
Questions:
1. Where should we put the sink? I know its a matter of preference, but what do most people want in a situation like this? Right now i'm thinking of putting it directly across from the toilet.
2. How should we run the drain lines so as to keep them up in the joists, make it easiest to finish basement, etc? I don't think i can run the bathtub drain through 4 or 5 joists that are 2x10s...
3. Is it possible to hide the ptrap from the tub up in the ceiling (between joists i mean, so we can finish basement ceiling), run the drain parallel with the joist, then dip below the joists and head towards the stack? Like this:
Let me know if that looks acceptable...thanks...
