Should cold water piping be in a crawl space or put in the walls?

Any water lines in a crawl space that don't have insulated walls should be insulated unless you live in climates that temperatures don't go below freezing (32F). I recommend that you use all the inside walls as much as possible for your water lines. You can also insulate your crawl space walls then you shouldn't have a problem on your non insulated water pipes as long as your crawl space is below your frost line. In colder climates its against code to plumb water lines in exterior walls.

What is a crawl foundation in construction?
Instead of pouring a concrete slab for your floor you can have it built out of engineered i-joist. They do this by building concrete footings with a stem wall on top of that. They will then pour footings for pony walls or post and beams to support the i-joist's. They will then run the joist over the pony walls which will create your CRAWL SPACE. This also gives you the ability to fully insulate underneath the floor and have access to your plumbing if you run into problems with that later on. its also a little more forgiving when your children take those tumbles to the floor.

How do you replace old cast iron stack pipe without riping out walls Can you line the existing pipe with a PVC insert?
No, that would be a terrible mistake, piping is sized by fixture units (7.48 gallons) and just to reduce the size and leave a space for bacteria to incubate is not the greatest idea
