Interesting, I know Iowa and Nebraska are similar but from everything I have heard Oklahoma doesn't have septic inspections. Aerobic septic systems are also very popular here but my current is about 200 ft of drain field.

Really maybe that is an Oklahoma thing because I had two plumbers say that was the solution.

My initial quote was 14k for rough in, running water to the building (300ft) and a sewage pump since it's a few feet below my current septic. Plus the toilet and sink and maybe shower and water heater.

After his phone call its more like kick his *** at this point. I'm the most level headed person but I lost it.

No not at all. I've only lived in this state for like 5 months which I wonder if that's some of it.

I called my plumber that did the rough in after I posted that and he suggested I reach out to the state plumbing investigator from the Construction Industries Boad so I have a call out to them so hopefully they can mediate and give a solution that isn't so intrusive. I planned on explaining to...

Inspector finally got back to me and said I either have to burry it or finish it no other options period.

This is the basic layout. On the back way I may not do a rear counter and put my toolbox in the middle.

I decided I'm going to make a nice u shaped work bench and screw it to the walls. That should satisfy the tripping Hazzard and I can most likely do it for a few hundred dollars. That back door is more of a work area anyways and it can stay like that until I'm ready to do the bathroom in a year...

I agree we had planned on putting some storage there to protect it. We have some storage racks and such and I planned on blocking it in since I'm sure a hit wound mess any of it up.

They are expensive too. What a money grab.

It is Rogers county north of Tulsa.

The wild part about it is I am in a fairly rural county in North East Oklahoma and not in city limits. I was warned by my electrician that the young guy was like this but the older inspector for the county was in and out 99% of the time. He initially failed me because my doors weren't in and...

I also considered doing that or building some cabinets. Framing makes the most sense but I'm not sure that will be enough.
