    Three inch. Plan is to create an extension and run the shower pipe into the extension. If that doesn't work, just punch it out the side of the building.

    Well, since the toilet drain needs to be lifted a couple/few inches, I could just tie into that. Even create a mini "U" to keep the stink away. Or I could just punch out through the concrete SIDE (not slab), and then run the shower drain parallel to the toilet drain. There is no old flange. The...

    Pretty rough, huh? This is the lower level of a Hawaii farm house, built in the 1950s. That sink is unnecessary, as I have a kitchen sink directly adjacent. So my goal is to replace the sink with a shower. In order to do this, the toilet will need to be raised. And that's OK because one of bolt...
