I'm currently remodeling our house and I'm finally at the master bathroom. I got a quote from several local guys all for around $1500-$2500 which is outside my budget. To be fair, their quotes included moving the water lines as well. Moving the water lines isn't an issue.
I finally pulled up the patch on the sub-floor to get to the plumbing (I'm moving the toilet and bath drains) and I came across this:

The toilet will be moving 6 feet to the left and the vent will be staying where it is.

I'm thinking about replacing the vent pipe and everything else with PVC(DWV 40?) as well as part of the stub off the main sewage line.
My question is, if I cut the cast iron right past the part where if flanges out, can I use a Fernco? coupling on that stub for the sewage? Is there a better way to do it? My concern is that could catch some of the sewage and eventually lead to a blockage.
The toilet is moving almost 6 feet away so I have plenty of room to make sure it slopes properly and almost three feet of crawl space underneath.
The reason I want to replace the vent pipe is the half wall it will be in is going to be covered completely (after I repair the sub floor and wall it's currently in) and I don't want the Fernco? on the old sink drain somewhere I can't access.
Also, if the supply line for the toilet was placed in the wall, it would be really close/right on to the electric line/box so I'm thinking of bringing it up through the floor. Any suggestions?
I'll be calling a few plumbers tomorrow and the county to check on code/practicality just to make sure. Just looking for some advice in the meantime.
Thanks in advance.
