I'm going to try and make this as condensed as possible. I am converting the existing attached garage for my wife into a "Home Daycare". With that space taken up I will be building a pole barn in the rear left of the lot. I will attach a site plan I drew up real quick, and a little blown up section of the house. Here are my 2 questions for now....

1. In the Daycare, in order to keep everything in one space I would like to install a bathroom in the rear corner. I've never dabbled in plumbing like this, but my question is where would I source the hot/cold, and waste line. In the drawing I am proposing digging a trench over to the laundry room and having both together? Does this seem like the "easiest" solution. This level of the house is 3ft under ground.

2. The electric service currently comes from the rear corner of the lot with a overhead line to the meter then into the laundry room to a original 125A panel. I am trying to have BGE least involved. Would it be best to move the meter to the back of the Pole Barn, and then underground to a new 200A panel in the pole barn that would feed the house? Or again, Meter on back of Pole Barn, then feed house, then back to garage?

Feel free to sketch on the drawings. These are really the only 2 things that have me stumped about the project.... currently.

Do you have a basement?

The house is a split foyer. The lower level is 3ft below grade with it being slab on grade. I just finished renovating both bathrooms this past 2 months, and the rest of the house 2 years ago. So everything is pretty much done, and now I am ready to start into these 2... bigger... projects. Wife is really ready to start her own business.

Based on your climate, you would be better off with a instantaneous water heater or a 40 gallon sized unit in the new bathroom. Getting hot water 50 plus feet takes too long.

The shortest diagonal to that location would be 33ft. Yes hot water would be nice, but I guess it would be mainly used to wash kids hands.

So anyone have input, is this what I am going to be dealing with, digging a trench to the laundry room? Any thoughts about the electric service for the pole barn?
