Option 1 (the PVC is just there for discussion): Option 2: Option 3: Please view and discuss which one is the "best" way to plumb a toilet. In all cases, north of the picture is a bathroom sink, shower and washing machine. The visible parts are 3", the northward run would...

I'm sure everyone is enjoying the nice weather, but if you have a moment, please enlighten me about the vent requirements here. Which of these locations is acceptable to tie-in a new vent? Ideally, the low one since it's accessible. The upper one would require drywall demolition on a finished...
