Again, more good info/advice...
Bob-Thanks for the code advice. What you are telling me would ease several of my biggest concerns. I'll find out for sure what is needed when I meet the inspector.
As for the plumbing, you all are probably right and I may end up replacing it as well. I realize that it's very logical to do them both at the same time. I honestly just haven't studied it enough yet to see just how difficult it would be. The supply side doesn't concern me that much as pex is fairly easy to work with on old work, but the DWV side could get ugly. I really just need to put some more thought into it...
As for engineers doing shitty work, I agree and have seen it. However a good engineer's thought process/detail/approach to a project like this could also be a good benefit I would think.
