My second one of these threads.
We're redoing the master bath and are replacing a rotted out single vanity with a double sink. My issue is the piping (waste and supply) all comes from the side and not behind.
Here's the scheme vanity we ordered: http://ancerre.com/backend/products/category_file_D/20150624055744.pdf
My thought was to just add a 2x3 wall in front of the existing (outside) wall and route - pretty tightly - the waste, vent and supply around that corner into the new false wall. The wall where the existing plumbing is is not load bearing; but behind it is a tub where we're doing a tub to shower conversion and were planning to add a ginormous, sectioned niche (drawn green box). All plumbing is 1 1/2".
Based on my previous single to double (with the help of this site) I understand the vent/waste need. I'm just wondering if I'm making this too difficult on myself with the false wall idea (plan 1) and if I should just butcher the vanity and come in from the side (plan 2) since the drawers in the middle are not full width. These niches and the litany of piping in the side wall have thrown us for a loop. For what it's worth the bathroom is on the second floor with the kitchen below. I don't want any more drywall work than I already have but if rerouting from below the floor is the better option I could, begrudgingly, be persuaded.
Thanks,
Matt
