Deciding to add a pot filler faucet

With the walls down to the studs, you have the ability to add things and change things around that you otherwise wouldn't have been able to with drywall installed. One thing that I wanted to add was a pot filling faucet above the stove. I came to this decision after checking out the piping in my basement. I noticed a cold water pipe that was feeding an outside faucet. I figured that I could just Tee off of that pipe and run an additional cold water pipe for the pot filling faucet. To do this I would need to cut the pipe and run an additional line up to the kitchen. I will be posting a step by step instruction after I do the actual installation. This post is more to show how I came to the decision by seeing my options after looking at the piping in the basement. I realized that I could do this fairly easy. When working on a project like this, look at what you have around you (pipes, electricity, etc.) and then make your "add-on" decisions based on that. This will give you some nice additions to your project without having to break your budget.
