Hi,
So I am an advanced DIY'er. I am renovated an older, 2-story gambrel building on my property. We are moving our daycare/preschool out to it. I have it down to the studs and will be insulating the entire first floor and adding a bathroom with 3 toilets in a straight line and 6 sinks total. Furthest distance between 2 sinks is about 20 feet.
We are putting in a new septic and a drilled well. The well will go 150' to the house and then back 75' to the building. What considerations do i need to make for plumbing the fixtures.
Also, it is sitting on posts on concrete footings, so there is no slab or basement. I am in the northeast and winter is cold. Would a box around the plumbing filled with expanding foam be enough to insulate the plumbing so it does not freeze? or is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!
