As I look at the tub, the fixtures are on the left.

This question probably has an obvious answer, but I don't know it. I am looking at bath tubs, what is the difference between right and left hand installation? Thanks, Barry

Ok here is my latest diagram. Its not to scale so it looks spread out, but that was the only way to fit everything in. I plan to replace everything with PVC except for the basement sink/basement toilet vent and drain. I plan to use 2" drains for the first floor and 1.5" for second floor LAV...

Great thanks for the pictures. I think I am going to have to just add a three inch DWV from the second floor. I own a cape cod/bungalow style house so the entire upstairs is basically open, which leaves very few areas to hide additional vent pipes. So I am going to redraw everything with a...
