Well, i'm just about finished with my main bathroom (other thread), now it's about time to tackle the basement bathroom. I found this picture on this site:
Now, that vent is going up 2 stories, and into the attic. I want to know if i should run it over to the 2" vent from my other full bathroom (ie, join them in attic) and send them both out the existing hole in the roof (one 2" vent), or if i should punch another hole in the roof, and run each out a separate hole? If the answer is "separate holes," that new vent is running up through an exterior wall, and if i went straight out the roof, would be pretty close to the eave/edge of roof. Is this ok? Is there a required distance from the edge of the roof for a vent penetration? If it must be moved/offset, what is the best way to do this - a couple of 90s? Supports needed in any way?
Thanks in advance.
