Hello all! I've been a long time reader of this forum and have found it extremely useful with so many knowledgable people here!
I have a basement bathroom I'm trying to finish, and I have a question about the layout of the vent/drain system...
It's a ranch style home, and the following picture is a drawing of what's UNDER the basement slab...as if you were looking down from the basement floor:
That's the layout of what's there currently. I need to finish the walls in the bathroom, and I'm not sure how I can vent the bathroom. I'd rather not have to go through the upstairs wall all the way to the roof and add another vent there, so I was wondering if there is any reason I can't vent the basement bathroom out just above the sill plate under the deck outside on the north wall. This is where the basement bathroom exhaust fan is vented as well. The floor joists run N. to S. and sit on top of the sill plate. Currently the toilet flange and shower drain are installed, and there's a 2" stub out for the sink, so I need to figure out what I have to do to vent the system from here...will the following be acceptable:
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
