Re: [Chevelle-list] Garage Bathroom
My advice? At least rough it in for the bathroom (shower-sink & water closet and on other side of wall (Garage side) laundry sink) .It will cost you big bucks $$ to do it later. My next garage will have all. If you do rough it in at least install the laundry sink.It can double as a urinal :-X. Larry (Z)
Re: [Chevelle-list] Garage Bathroom
Hay larry: ive just build a family dollar store and a 5 unit mini shopping center. ive plumbed all of my rent houses using a water line source called peks. it is a flexable plastic type pipe that wont burst when frozen. the only problem, is finding a guy the has the tool too crimp the connectors on. you can buy it at the hardware store and install it underground before you pour your slab,as well as your drain pipes. just remember, drop in the drain pipe should be one inch in 10 feet for most "city codes". glad i could give some help back to the LIST .everyone has been so helpfull to me!!

RE: [Chevelle-list] Garage Bathroom
...and
there's a problem with this idea? : )
If you
think about it, what's the point of a house? It's got the tv, fridge,
bathroom, bed, food. If you're going to build a bathroom in the garage,
then add a tv and frig, as long as you have a good quality creeper and a fast
food joint nearby, you can save a whole lot of money be eliminating the house
all together. That would mean a few more cars that you need and tools and
parts and some more tools and those other parts you just remembered you
need...

RE: [Chevelle-list] Garage Bathroom
I used to have a client who had a urinal mounted in the wall of his garage. It was really cool. It was a trap door about 8x10 inches or so, hinged on the bottom. When it is closed it just looks like a rectangular plastic plate on the wall. You flip it open to use it and when you shut it, it flushes itself. He said it saved his marriage. He said it was from some European (or maybe he said you're a-peein') company. I don’t remember the name. Anyway, you really don’t need a "bathroom" so much as a place to go other than inside the house. A utility sink is also a nice thing to have in the garage (and it can function as a urinal with very little creativity, and doesn’t require its own room).

Re: [Chevelle-list] Garage Bathroom
If you live in an area where freezing is not an issue, it is a great idea. The commode and a sink is all you need and they add value to a home. It is a simple matter to plumb for both and buy the fixtures at a later date when more money is available. Just putting in the Schedule 40 sewer line should be a matter of a couple hundred bucks, tops. You can also install fittings for a floor drain that is NOT connected to your sewer - run them to the outside for later connection to a line leading to a perforated 55 gal drum buried underground and it's perfect for washing cars inside. To avoid problems with the inspector (garage drains were outlawed years ago because people dumped engine oil, etc., down them) install the fitting about 1/4" below the finnished floor grade and measure where they are EXACTLY in relation to the outside edge of the floor. After inspection, a light tap with a hammer will break away the thin cement and, voila', you've got a drain fitting. Completing the drain is simple - the parts mate easily with 1/4 inch of "play". Avoid sloping the floor to the drain - inspectors aren't that dumb. And NEVER dump anything you would not want your dog to drink down ita little soapy water is harmless but antifreeze ain't. When/if you move, plug it so some non-car-guy doesnt abuse it. BTW, this system is often used for hunting cabins in Michigan - a 55 gal drum for a septic tank is sufficient if it's only in occassional use - like a cabin.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Garage Bathroom
Rick, I have done this kind of work a lot in my younger years and when you get the floor poured, at least get the plumbing set in for later if you don't want to spend the money now. But in my opinion, 2.6k is way too much for this job. If you get the plumbing done, it is really easy to set a commode. And when you get your walls framed, running some copper or pvc water lines would be easy also. Personally, I could never see paying someone an outrageous price to do something that I could do real easy and more often than not, I could do it 1000 times better!!! Well maybe 10 times Don't know where you live, but if it is near Houston, I could help you some afternoon. It would be a piece of cake..

My wife suggested that I install a bathroom. I was all for it til I got 3 bids that were way more than I could afford ( and more than I thought reasonable). Today I got 2 comparably reasonable estimates ( is $2600 reasonable?) for a comode, utility sink and water & sewer connections. $2600 otherwise spent would get me a 4-post lift or LS1 for the camaro. I could improvise a sink install and could live without the comode. So for the long term is the bathroom a good investment? -- Rick Schaefer72 TPI El Camino No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.Version: 7.0.344 / Virus Database: 267.11.9/118 - Release Date: 10/3/05
Re: [Chevelle-list] Garage Bathroom
I don't know if that's reasonable, but in my opinion, I would get a urinal and the sink, I know working in my garage, its a big hassle trying to clean up completely then go into the house with out leaving a mark on something, only to have to take a leak. Plus my wife doesn't care for the goop or other heavy duty soaps in one of the bathrooms. I really with I had a small bathroom in my garage. But I have just finished insulating it so it might have to wait awhile. Plus my chevelle is still always from being drivable. - Original Message - From: Rick Schaefer To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 2:23 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Garage Bathroom My garage project has been on hold for a while, but I finally have footers dug .

Just plant a big hedge next to the door and go for the lift.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Garage Bathroom
Having a sink is a good idea,though.
