View attachment 73099 1st floor bathroom, wide open from basement to 1st level roof. 1890’s farm house. Very small 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. Sorry for my 2nd grade drawing. Bathroom to have wall hung toilet, shower, and sink. So far here’s my plan. The second long sweep 90 is to get under the floor joist. I plan to tie in to the original horizontal drain line near the floor. The original stack minus the vent is still there just on the diagonal corner from the new toilet location. Any advice greatly appreciated. I haven’t figured out shower drain situation yet but considered utilizing the original stack and if necessary running another 2 inch vent up and tying in before through the roof.
Right on! Looks like the toilet carrier fitting next to the shoes. Make sure the frame of the carrier is FLUSH with the rough wall surface or the toilet will smoosh through the finished wall whatever gap there is. What carrier / toilet combo are you using?
Thank you I will definitely do that. I think you’re right on the old growth. The farm carpenters had no issues removing lots of load bearing studs, sometimes 2 in a row. Seems this house was floating. I’m not surprised as 20 years ago I went to replace upstairs toilet and noticed a doubled joist cut all the way through. Did some investigating and they cut out both joists, on both sides to apparently fit plumbing on one end and duct work on the other. That forced the remodel. I forgot 1 question. Can the shower drain share the 2 inch vent which exists on the 3 inch toilet line?Looks good. Looks like most carrier manufactures have moved cross bars behind where the toilet will cantilever and crush through the finished wall now, so you're good on that aspect. I would mount the toilet to the frame before you sheetrock to test if or how it bounces. After the sheetrock crushing behind the toilet, a bouncing carrier is the biggest complaint I've experienced. That old growth should be super sturdy tho!
