The previous system had long ago vanished.Rehab was very involved with having to tear out the bathroom down to the floor joists, building new supports for the joists, running all new hot and cold water lined into the house to all points of distribution, all sheetrock work including ceiling repairs as a result of serious roof leaks, new sub-floor in kitchen, all new cabinets and appliances and of course all normal lights, fixtures and other cosmetic requirements.

Nashville is a hot market---I am newer to it but it is looking very good in it's economy and market statistics.I made the bust out from SoCal also and have never regretted it--at all!

It's not as easy as it sounds and can land you in very hot water if it is not done according to all of the rules and regulations.
