Well, I am putting a bathroom in my basement. I have the floor framed, and the flush up toilet in the framing. The questions I have are:

The room I am looking to put the bathroom in also contains the circuitbreaker box, can that be mixed with the high moisture of a bathroom?


I have a bathtub to install. The bathroom will drain to the sewar via the pump in the toilet. How do I get the bathtub to drain to the toilet to be pumped out? I was thinking I might need a grey water pump.


The toilet I purchased is the one from home depot. It's a plastic holding tank with a macerator pump in it, that you can attach any standard toilet to.

Since the copper wire in the box will corrode. The best thing you can do is either put a dehumidifier in the bathroom or just apply of some of that oil that is to prevent wire corrosion.

I really wouldn't be putting a bathroom where your panel is. Its asking for trouble ala darwin style.

Yeah I wouldn't do it either. I wonder if you checked your local codes if it is even legal. I could be wrong but it doesn't seem right. Is there away you can frame a small closet that is seperate from the bathroom to cover the box then build the shitter next to the closet?

I haven't check the coding yet, but I was thinking about a small closet to house it in.
