I'm planning to finish our basement which includes installing a 3/4 bath. The existing rough-in is terribly placed and basically unusable for anything other than a 1/2 bath, and it would require walling in one of the 2 basement windows. There is an sewage ejector sump that is original to the...

I'm moving a toilet in a bathroom remodel and, from a labor and time perspective, this would be the ideal plumbing layout for the shower and toilet but I want to make sure this is an acceptable practice. I'm not opposed to putting in more time and labor if it's not an acceptable way of doing it...

I'm remodeling a bathroom and the floor is sloped- but flat- downward in the direction from the external wall. It's approximately an inch drop over 7 feet. This direction is perpendicular to the joists. I will be installing a KBRS Tile Basin so I need to begin with a flat surface. ~1/2" drop...
