okay, here's an interesting (okay, to me), if only semi-related question:

I'd like to run the air lines through the walls (the studs) and just have the 
outlets/drains poke out through the wall itself (because I'm a geek and a 
glutton for punishment, okay?)

how big can I make that pipe before I overly compromise the studs?  seems like 
the o.d. of a 1" pipe would be pushing the limit for a 2x4, and even that gives 
me the heebies.  maybe I'll be doing 2x6s after all, that way I could have the 
drop loop over the supply run on the way down and still be behind the wall.  
maybe...

you know, actually building this thing is probably going to be lots less fun 
that the planning part.
