Yes, it is very easy to simply lay it out in reverse as all the plans are completely symmetrical.
In my basement, the drain goes to an elector pit, then out to my septic system. I routed the sink drain through a wall adjacent to on side of the L-shaped bar leg. All my electrical goes through the wall to a sub panel that is fed from the main panel. If electrical or plumbing is beyond your current skill set, there are many great Youtube videos out there on the topic.
Also, be aware that in some municipalities you will need permits to modify plumbing and electrical, but where I live out in the country, you can do pretty much whatever you want without any permits or inspection. Plus, I an a retired electrical engineer, so this stuff is child’s play.
Just be sure you do it right and don;t create any fire or flood hazards. Always consult with a local plumber or electrician if unsure. If you have a plumber or electrician friend, buying them a few beers at your new bar is a great way to get some inexpensive or free help.See the wet bar definition page for more ideal on wet bar plumbing and electrical tips.

Drill 3/4″ holes as needed 12″ or higher above floor level to reduce the risk of flooding shorting out your bar. Also good to keep it dry when the BS starts filling the bar. 😉

I think the original point was missed as this is discussing the workspace countertop height, NOT the bar top height.
42″ is standard bar top height.I think the original point was missed as this is discussing the workspace countertop height, NOT the bar top height.

Most recently, Maximuser’s project is a very good guide:
If you need further materials suggestions, please post your request.
A 45 degree cut will get you around a 90 degree corner since you split the difference. To get around a 45 degree corner, you split 45, which is 22.5 degrees.
It’s always best to do a few scrap cuts because all miter saws have their own “personality”.Carl:
Sorry, that project is not resizable using the CHBD. There are a couple of reasons why…
1. It’s designed to utilize mostly 8 foot lumber.
2. The standard size is stable, making it smaller would make it unstable, unless very well anchored.
3. Making it much larger exceeds the scope of the intended plan.
4. It’s a structure, not a bar per se.
5. CHBD was meant for just bar sizes, not structures with roofs.
6. CHBD READY plan sets show a little icon on the plan over pages that indicates if it is resizable or not.The CHBD is intended for making nominal changes to select bar designs for fitting purposes only. These changes can facilitate some very interesting configurations nonetheless. Manual changes to the EHBP-20 are possible. You can substitute a hip roof but the design work the gets more detailed.
I think there is a forum topic for modifying it to a hip roof rather than a gable design.
