The plumber gave us a rough estimate of about $1500 to rough in the cabin and the office in the house. But he said it would cost less if we paid him time and materials on a project this small. Then we can discuss pricing the plumbing for the rest of the house.
We hope to get enough hooked up to have a functioning bathroom so we can stop paying for the porto pottie. The plumber said he would schedule this for two weeks from now.
