the house was built in 71 and thankfully zero asbestos was around since it has been reno'd a couple times over the years.

The tankless was about $3500.00 installed, the direct vent tank was going to be about $2500.00 so spending the extra $1000.00 for the tankless unit was the only way to go and it freed up space since it was in a shitty location where the suite is going to be and of course gives us that extra space for the bathroom which was needed for the extra vanity space. The main thing I like about the tankless is that theres zero tank and it comes with a 10 year warranty on it, its expected to last 15-20 years rather then 8 years for a normal HW tank so with that and the money savings that's really the only option to go with if you are planning to live at your place for a while.

No floor drain but the condenser pump is perfect for my situation, I'm thinking about digging it up down the road since the bathroom is up a foot but right now I mainly want to focus on the kitchen since it's such a large project for a 4 week window.
