Pipes and all that…
Because we are extending underneath our current bathroom, we had to give due consideration to the clearance of the waste and drain pipes. Before the bathroom reno – the pipes were quite deep – which initially made our architect plan for some bulkhead that would be build around them. But due to the fabulous work by our bathroom doctors – the pipes drainage pipes were set shallow enough so that they wont affect the head-space (or my head-space for that matter) downstairs beneath the bathroom. We also opted to a p-trap toilet with meant the toilet waste (the bad stuff) went out the wall rather than the floor. This was the same for the vanity too.

That sounds like a great plan, and fortuitous bathroom doctoring! And a good idea using hthe P. trap– I mean, you don’t want a lot of crap hanging over your head (literally) when bad stuff happens. That would be the Worst. Day. Ever.
Hi Adam – thanks for posting!
Yeah – I was a little concerned with our inital plan which had waste and plumbing floating (in pipes of course) over what will be the main living room/ tv room.
