Either that or take out the fireplace. I was hoping for a more temporary solution but the shower they put in is quite solid. I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping that toilet pump doesn't die!Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-86798688771187706502012-09-21T05:17:55.936-07:002012-09-21T05:17:55.936-07:00In our basement (where I was researching) it was r...In our basement (where I was researching) it was recommended that we cut a trench in the concrete slab/floor in order to provide a channel deep enough for the plumbing to work through gravity alone. Haven't actually taken that step yet, though.The Executionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419763605714282331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-40617659167812137672012-09-09T18:43:49.524-07:002012-09-09T18:43:49.524-07:00Executioner, it was the best choice of all the bad...Executioner, it was the best choice of all the bad options. I don't know if I found all of the options. If it only lasts until my parents' house sells and they buy another and move out of here, I will be happy. Hopefully that will be a year at the most. Did you find any other option that would have been better?

I've done research myself regarding drain systems in areas where normal gravity-fed drains are complicated/impossible to install. And I have to say, based on what I have read (but not from personal experience) it sounds like the macerator/pump solution is pretty maintenance-intensive, and prone to pretty catastrophic failure if something does go wrong (as in, sh!t always runs downhill).<br /><br />Keeping my fingers crossed that in your case all will go smoothly, however.The Executionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419763605714282331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-40391760521399572922012-09-09T01:12:59.282-07:002012-09-09T01:12:59.282-07:00Oh no the guilt Macerator toilet was definitely no...Oh no the guilt Macerator toilet was definitely not my idea!Lizzie @ her homeworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257339462096688164noreply@blogger.com
