As dictated by existing locations of the plumbing vent and drains, as well as electrical receptacles for range, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher/disposer, some things are going to go where they need to go.So here is one alternative from left to right.=============== LEFT WALLSINK 24" with cabinet - vent stack there, hot and cold supplies there.DISHWASHER 24" with counter top.RANGE 30" - range receptacle there, microwave receptacle up top.Cabinet 30" with counter top.1/2" boardRefrigerator 30"=============== RIGHT WALLThe only problem is there is no counter space on either sides of the sink.So here are some decisions I am trying to make.(1) Is having a dishwasher a necessity for a 1/1?

I'm worried about being drained by maintenance, but if the margins allow for it, maybe I could look into property management.

Not necessarily looking for a long term solution (not worth putting in a drain tile given the type of basement it is), just something that can get it dry enough for an extended period to paint the floor.

I've stopped rehab work on it since the city won't give permits to finish the interior back to a 5-unit because of the zoning and the work is going to cost a lot more than anticipated so the property is sitting gutted and just a cash drain.

@K.Marie Poe ... welcome back, was concerned about the brain drain your absence created on bigger [email protected].

Turns out there was about a roll of toilet paper flushed and clogging the drain. 

I can't for the life of me see how any agent would work day in and day out selling 10K to 60k SFR's  not worth the brain drain..

Enlarging an existing basement window opening in the concrete wall and digging a window well {including tying it into the drain tile} should run you no more than a grand.  

We can also as Bill mentioned create ponds for storage but each site does need to store all storm and rain drains before going into the public system.

I've had a drain back up and flood a room twice since moving in.
