Plan Expansion Of Bath at Time House Is Built

| Home bathroom expansion should be planned when the house is built. Costs for increasing such facili{ties are often unnecessarily high, according to a home remodeling report by the Tile Council of | America, because provision for extra plumbing was not “roughed {in when the house was originally constructed. - Failure to install extra drain! and water piping in the walls when the house is built too frequently results in expensive tear-ing-out’ of walls when powder rooms, basement toilets, or second shower facilities must be added due to family growth, The report also makes these other recommendations concerning foresight in bathroom planning: . Using durable materials such as ¢lay tile for the bathroom walls and floor avoids the necessity of costly resurfacing when the house is several years old. The same long-range economy is suggested
