Hello all,
Our house is located in Kansas City, MO, if that helps. Built in 64, all cast piping currently. All the cast iron will be completely replaced with PVC.
I am in the process of finishing our basement bathroom out - when the house was built, there were rough-ins for a sink, shower, and toilet, but the piping has corroded badly, and the layout does not allow for us to have our laundry down there as well.
I have created a 3D schematic of my intended layout. The main stack is in the corner of the room. Most of the plumbing is fairly straightforward, but I have a few questions:
1. the shower drain ties into the 4" pipe running between the toilet and the stack. will this work?
2. the shower vent - I have this tying into the upstairs sink/shower drain as a wet vent - I do not think this will work, but do not know of another way to vent the lower shower. Please advise.
3. the laundry drain/vent - I wanted to have a small utility sink/floor drain sitting next to the washer - I was unsure of how to tie this all together - I would much prefer a floor drain tied into the laundry drain - please advise on best way to do this. also , i'm unsure if the venting i have drawn will work - I would tie into the upstairs shower vent if needed, as it will be directly above where the washer sits.

Thanks a ton for any input you can provide - I hate to sound like a newb, but I've been researching this off and on for the past six months and we are finally getting to the stage where we want to get some pipe laid.
