:Thankyou for your response and advice I agree with you. We do need a set plan. This one sounds wonderful. Thanks for a different view point. : Diana….Welcome to the wonderful world of the : Entrepreneurial challenges. : I of course cant speak for your plumber, but This Old House was built long before your Old Plumberhad made his grand entrance into this world. : This may be a blessing in disguise, a chance to : find out if there is any lead piping in the walls or concealled areas that may give rise to a suit in time to come. : There is no magic in the Plumbing Industry, and all Plumbers are not miricle workers. If your : piping is of insufficient size to carry the demands : of 1998 living standards, and 5 full bath rooms, it has been that way for a long long time. : A majormake over such as you describe is not normally in the purview of the plumber but rather that of an Architecht or Engineer. : I am sympathetic with your anxiety over the solution to this problem . I also know what it is like trying to launch a dream with limited funds at your disposal. Perhaps a partial solution would : be in order..Increase the size of the water lines : starting from where it enters the dwelling, and run a full sized lines directly to the new water heater location. And then from that point go to the first Bath Room, and then the second, and so on. This doesnt have to be done all at once : it can be done as work progresses. And before you know it you will have succeeded in repiping : the old house all the way up to the Attic Suite. : Have a heart to heart with your Plumber and : get a plan togeather for the work that needs to be done in an orderly fashion. If he is not responsive and amenable find a Plumber who is. : This may sound corny, but you will get the job done and look back on this construction time as : only a minor inconvienience in the years ahead.. : Bud………. : Merry Christmas.. : Suncoast Plumbing… : Sunny Florida…
