Eric Aune, master plumber and Build Show contributor, continues his shop tour series by walking through the plumbing setup inside his Minnesota workshop. He covers conditioned water supply, a combi boiler for on-demand hot water, a wall-hung toilet, and a commercial-grade stainless steel utility sink — all practical choices driven by function over flash. He makes a pointed case against adding a shower to a shop, calling it an unnecessary expense that most people end up not using. Rounding things out are floor trench drains, which Aune considers non-negotiable for any heated garage or workshop dealing with snow melt, mud, and seasonal grime.
