Hello, I will be moving to a different house, the 2nd floor bathroom only has a toilet (right above the bottom floor one) if you need to wash hands, you would need to use a bottle. So, the only water source is the toilet tank. What I want to do is have a shower, a sink, a boiler and the small shaft which is usually on the floor to prevent flooding. I want hot water for the boiler and for it to be connected to shower and sink (only shower if that makes it way way cheaper)

What would be the cheapest and easiest way because I don't want too much digging to happen, a bit is okay but not swiss cheese. I'm fine if the pipes are exposed or travel from the outside as long as weather doesn't ruin them. I don't want any smell to come, I guess the pipes would connect to the toilet pipe, but toilet has water preventing the smell, how would you prevent it for the shower or sink? Furthermore how do you even know where the pipes are?

I read that some pipes are left for air to come too, a bit confused on that.

I may not do this myself, I just want to know what is the ideal option for me, so please help.

Thank you
 
Where are you located? Do you have pictures or a diagram? If adding a water heater you'll need to run electrical. Walls and floor need opened to run drains and water pipes. How big is the room? Lots of unknowns here.
