Terry and family, I haven't spent as long on this forum as many others, but I must share my gratitude for all Terry has done. For any of my plumbing related questions, my first search is always here. As a DIY homeowner doing renovations, this forum has been invaluable and would be my first...

Thanks. What I was planning on now is, since the lav does has a vent, running the shower into the lav drain to wet vent it, then to the main stack. Sort of as I tried to draw below Note I didn't draw it but the lav has a dry vent up through the wall.
