After 24 years of saying yes to any gun I want and multiple Harleys my wife finally asked for something:

Not a diamond ring.
Not a cruise.
Not a new bigger house.
Not a Ferrari.

She isn't even trying to trade me for a newer model...

She wants a small addition to the house, a second bathroom, with a toilet and a sink.

Like 11'x5'.

Small.

I don't understand it, but I figure I owe it to her for putting up with me for a 1/4 century.

Only I don't know anybody, and I need a contractor that handles structure, roof, plumbing and electrical, licensed & insured, since a permit will of course need to be pulled.

Any suggestions?

She sounds horribly controlling and demanding. Have you considered just getting a divorce? Lol.

I actually had a great idea:
I have this small room, my reloading room.
Ok, so I am thinking:
Instead of building an addition, we could just install a toilet in my room, which is right next to the bathroom.
We really would just need to cut a hole in the floor, bring a waste pipe through the back wall of the house and tie it in the sewer.
It would make the perfect man cave, i can reload ammunition while I am taking a crap [Coffee]
Anyone here is a plumber and would tackle this small project?

Value of the property is diminished 87% because of the horrific picture on the wall

Good, maybe my fucking property taxes will go down.

But seriously guys, not a single plumber on the Forum?

The only one I recall was "Dunecrazzy" or something like that- I've not spoken to him in years though-his last post was in 2020

Small shipping container that serves as a safe room as well? I don't know...

Just make sure you use a liner- it makes cleanup a lot easier.

You can always put wheels on the shipping container. Then you have an RV!

Check with a local plumbing supply place, they know who’s good. I know some but they stay south.

Bumping out of curiosity and interest in a contractor to finish our basement and renovate the master bathroom…. Did you wind up building the addition, Bellavite?

Nope ...
Gave up, might as well rebuild the whole house [Toile1]
