Basement bathroom <br />Vision <br />There was no bathroom at the time of purchase. This enhancement <br />became logical when the lower bedroom was conceptualized. There <br />were two doors into the northwest room that became the bedroom, and <br />it was quite large. A full bath was determined to be plausible. A <br />shower, stool and single sink vanity, all in period style were designed. <br />Process <br />Over the course of 3 weeks 12 months ago, this work was completed at <br />the same time as the egress window in order to create common dust. A <br />lift pump would carry water and solids to the adjacent main septic pipe <br />(which was showing corrosion, so we changed out a section with PVC <br />and raised it to provide more head room in the den adjacent to this <br />bathroom. An antique cabinet was converted into a bowl -top vintage <br />style vanity and plumbed from the adjacent utility room through <br />existing fenestrations in the existing lower level brick wall. Tile of <br />earth tones and white were selected, choosing again to avoid anything <br />pre -fab. The original door to the bedroom was kept as <br />the bathroom door, adding a slide latch. The room has <br />an exhaust fan as well, electric follows code of <br />requiring GFI outlets where appropriate. The lift <br />pump is behind the curved portion of the wall between <br />the bathroom and bedroom (see bedroom image) with <br />a hidden access door for servicing. <br />
