It gets better. He didn’t pull a permit, and in the stage of Michigan (probably everywhere else too), a licensed plumber must pull the permit. Now he’s telling me for another $600, he will pull a permit and add nail plates to where he drilled those holes and fire caulk.

Plumber came out and did a hack job on my joists and the stud which is obviously an exterior wall.

Thank you, i was hoping it was as easy as that. I should have did the work myself, even I know that was not the way to do things!

It’s definitely less than 2” from the bottom, is there a fix without replacing them?

Well, had a plumber come out to move our main stack which had the toilet, tub, sinks and kitchen sink attached in the wall and soffit. Just wanted it as small as possible so when we drywall it isn’t a huge eyesore. Issues I can see, and I’m not a contractor. -drilled through joists at the...

Here’s the basement. That hole from the kitchen floor running down the window is right there. I can easily get all lines into the basement and meet right there, I just don’t know how to tie them in together safely.

I have full access to the main stack in the basement. It runs vertically straight down that wall. So if I were to attach them on the basement, can I simply run them straight down the wall into the basement and connect with a Y at the top of the stack? I don’t know enough about the venting to...

Is anybody able to help me figure out a way to condense this stack? It was in the soffit. I understand I can’t eliminate it or put it completely in the wall/ceiling because the joists are in the way, but I’d like it to be as small as possible! There is room and an opening right next to the...
