So it turns out the collars on my stack stick out farther than the 2x4 construction in the room. As well, the stack was installed crooked so that the pipe, by the time it reaches the top plate also sticks out farther than the studs.
Originally, I was going to get a section of it changed out to ABS because the sink installation I want is different than the original (I need the waste pipe higher because it's a wall-hung sink -- more like a tight install for pedestals). That would also take care of the collars. But now that I've noticed that the pipe also protrudes, what do I do?
Do I get the plumber to increase the notch in the top plate and see if he can reposition the CI or do I get him to cut it above the plate in the attic as well as increasing the depth of the notch? Or can he install a smaller diameter pipe? Should I just change it out completely from just below the sink outlet through and out the roof?
TIA
ETA: Picture is not showing up. On the phone to my ISP -- hopefully will work later.
