Hello… Thankful to anyone that takes a moment to help… !! Learning tons and can't pretend to know it all... DIYr with more time than money...
Looking for direct feedback on my rehab project. I’ll spare you the dramaitic details – in short, mom is in a wheelchair and I’m relocating the bathroom to increase the size from 5x7 to 10x10. I do have permits for this build and assigned an inspector, but he isn’t a ‘friendly’ county inspector… I’d like to get a few things out in the open:
-Home is now vacant
-1954 house with 25†crawl space
-single bath
-Exiting plumbing was (removed) black cast
-septic tank
-2x4 construction
-3 of the 4 walls bath walls are bearing
-Using a 60x40 Tile Redi pan zero barrier
My initial concern is the current waste pipe location(distance). I don’t know what the story is below the ground. My guess is it moves AWAY from the new location.
The old bathroom has been gutted (both rooms are down to the studs) - I have to move forward...
[Q] What are some options to achieve the new toilet relocation with respect to distance from waste pipe and venting on the non-bearing wall for new sink/shower/toilet?
Thank you! Craig
