okay, here's an interesting (okay, to me), if only semi-related question:
I'd like to run the air lines through the walls (the studs) and just have the
outlets/drains poke out through the wall itself (because I'm a geek and a
glutton for punishment, okay?)
how big can I make that pipe before I overly compromise the studs? seems like
the o.d. of a 1" pipe would be pushing the limit for a 2x4, and even that gives
me the heebies. maybe I'll be doing 2x6s after all, that way I could have the
drop loop over the supply run on the way down and still be behind the wall.
maybe...
you know, actually building this thing is probably going to be lots less fun
that the planning part.
