Hello,
I am in the middle of remodeling the Master Bathroom (2nd floor) on my Townhouse (tiles and everything). I came across with this dilemma: The water lines and drain pipe come from the floor. The old vanity used to have the underneath covered. The new one will be uncovered and is designed to have the plumbing coming from the wall behind.
The thing is that the wall where I would like to have these lines installed is the end wall of my Townhouse, next to the following unit. I was wondering if this situation is common, doable, or it is simply not allowed since it is the wall that connects with the next Townhouse? I have 2 other bathrooms and they have the plumbing from walls, but those are interior walls. My guess is that there might be a reason why the original developer chose to install the lines from floor in that specific bathroom.
If this can't be done (by code and/or by common sense) I will keep shopping a different vanity then, not that uncovered at the bottom.
I will appreciate some comments to make a decision here. I just cut open a portion of the drywall to peek the frame.
Thanks
