I need to run a 2" drain where the blue line is in that picture. It goes up the basement wall, into the kitchen for the kitchen sink. First, you have to realize they put the joists 16" OC, starting from the wall that would be to the right in the picture, and it just so happened that the last joist before the rim joist fell exactly where it was pretty much "touching corners" with the sill plate. Amazing, huh? So there is a space i cannot get to...
All measurements are exact, 9" means 9". I have some weird lumber... Except the 2x4 stud wall is 1.5" x 3.5" i believe. Everything else is exact.
The problem i see is that if i put a 2" drain in the 2x4 stud wall, i'd have to cut out part of the rim joist to get it to fit back behind the wall, then make a turn in an area i can't reach...
So, how would you do it? The sink has to go there...i can't build out the wall to 2x6 either...
