I already had a new hot water heater for the house installed, I want the instant hot for the kitchen sink. I have it here and there is plenty of room — but since this was only a weekend, vacation home, there were never any hookups installed. I'd really like to do this all at once instead of piecemeal. The half bath right now is sink (dry) & fancy porta-potti. I really need some water up here and plan to add a full bath later on. Right now we're just trying to get the basics done. Reason I only have the portapotti now is this closet is on south side, septic is located on the north side, there is an cleanout? at the front of the barn and a drain outlet right inside the front doors where he installed hookups for my washer and dryer. I have a large washtub I'm waiting to have put in too, need it to drain into the existing drain. The contractor convinced me to install the washer/dryer where the existing drain was to save money - thousands according to him. I thought they could run the hookup to the septic maybe in a trench around the barn - he said no, he'd have to jackhammer through the concrete across the barn.
When you say dishwasher and instant hot , do you mean instant hot water heater for the entire place or an instant hot water unit (faucet) for a cup of hot water? Is the 1/2 bath sink and toilet or sink and shower?
I want to bring water lines from the kitchen to a small closet that I hope to eventually make a half bath. It's approx 20' from the kitchen water and maybe 30' to the main plumbing/electrical connections. Not sure if they will have to go up and over or down and over. Lower floor, the barn is all open so pipes can be run with no problem. The staircase is about in the middle of the "house" right next to the kitchen so connections can't be run straight across. The satellite TV, Internet guys ran their wires up, over the staircase, through the "attic" then down where they needed them.
Note - I don't need this hooked into the septic, just an outlet is fine since it will just be for brushing teeth, washing up etc.Thanks for any advice. I have a contractor working with us but he's so busy he can't get to these items till next year. Have a handyman coming Monday morning to look at it but don't want problems down the line so wondering if I should try and find a plumber to do it.
