The notch I'm proposing would remove a 1/2" x 4" rectangle from the bottom left end of each new joist, I'd have to look it up but I believe that goes beyond what is usually permissible. Supporting the bottom of each new joist where they're still a full 5 1/2" deep would certainly make me feel...

I wish the solution were this simple but the high point is at the foundation wall, a level line extending from that point by whatever means would result in the bathroom subfloor being 1/2" higher where it meets the hallway (right side of pic). The "flat only" floor solution I mentioned would...

I'm replacing some rotted 2" x 6" floor joist under my 5' x 8' bathroom, attached picture shows the situation I'm looking at. So, I can notch the ends of the new joists and they'll be level and match the ends of the existing joists. Question I have about this is can I notch the joists to that...

Reach 4 pointed out the issue w/B1. Those three components for the w/c vent aren't gonna kill me so I'll leave those in, flip B1, add a cleanout for the kitchen sink and see what the inspector says. Thanks all for the help.

Free download here: http://www.sketchup.com/ Anyone else care to comment on my proposed DWV plans? https://goo.gl/photos/uiVseZKzUCrFzn1B9 Figured out how to embed the image: I suspect the image link may not have been working on some browsers.

I've updated the pic so every component has it's own unique designation: https://goo.gl/photos/88TaiuVhvYXaL3687 Link in previous post has also been updated so it leads to the revised pic. Here's another view, looking at things from the kitchen side and showing the mentioned floor joist...

Reach4- Height not an issue for the w/c but I am trying stay clear of a joist just ahead of D. Tell me more about the use of the 4" santee (F). I'd gladly employ a low heel 90 here but looks like I'll have to order it since it doesn't seem to be a commonly stocked item in these parts. Or am I...

Sorry Stuff, was distracted for a few days. I've drawn up a much better representation here that should leave nothing to the imagination: https://goo.gl/photos/88TaiuVhvYXaL3687 This is a wet wall between a kitchen and small bath, single story home with crawl-space, 4 fixtures being served...

Stuff, thanks for the follow-up: I'm guessing you meant greater than 45º (as in closer to vertical), with E being appropriately sloped that would indeed put C closer to true vertical than 45º. Unfortunately, there's no room for an 1/8 bend between C and D, would not be able to get the w/c at...

Forgive the primitive drawing: https://goo.gl/photos/PrJ1fRfGLcHLRoD29 This represents a proposed abs w/c connection to a 4" sewer line where: A - 4" street 90 B - Short 4" diam straight section C - 4" san tee or low heel 90 D - 4" wye E - 4" main line G & F - w/c vent plumbed to main stack...
