I want to construct a bathroom in a corner of a existing building. However my husband, the practical builder, has noted that there is not enough drop in the plumbing for that location. Is there any way around this difficulty?

It depends on how high the sewer line for the bath is relative to the floor. Unless your like 2' above the floor its not going to effect the vanity. You can use a wall hung rear discharge toilet with the waste line several inches above the floor. The shower tub is the hard thing you might have to put it up on a pedestal so to speak.
If you could tell us how high the line is in relation to the slab that would help out a lot.

Think this one through. It's almost the holidays and she is lining up work for her husband. He comes up with the old no drop on the plumbing excuse. You come along with a whole bunch of practical advice. Nice guy.
