I know our rental was only 1/2" from the street. nonetheless, the fixture
requires 1" in, so I thought I'd go overkill now so I don't have to later (I
suspect the plans for the master bath include something like the bathroom I'm
doing now, only bigger/more).
I basically need to figure out how to get the pressure up after the well tank,
and what material I should use for the pipes. they're going through the attic
no matter what, since I'm not going to crack up the slab.
