Getting ready to start a new project later this summer. Currently, there are no plumbing fixtures in our basement. I'd like to add a sink next to the existing cast iron stack (only about 3 feet away from the stack) that services the first floor 1/2 bath and a laundry with utility sink and a...

Thanks to everyone who responded. Amazing that you can get many designs/opinions. Anyone else care to chime in. I have to admit, Michael Young's layout makes the plumbing very easy, and an AAV in the garage is okay by me even if it ever does smell a bit. But I have the drywall down and can...
