Thanks on Q re venting Thank you all for your help and encouragement. I will do some more research, and planning, and will likely come back soon with some more questions or to seek comments on a more specific plan. Thanks again.

Q re basement bath venting and etc. Thanks again everyone for your comments. I am starting to think that, once I get my money back from the first guy (or even if not), I should hire a good plumber to do the rough in. Another sewer flood is not very appealing. Problem is that here were I live...

Thanks. If you can view the picture below you can see how the line runs (this is what I removed and have to redo). But I will have to install sink wye first, then toilet almost adjacent (I would not do the 90 degree anlge he has but run toilet line straight into the wye), then finally the wye...
