Hi - I've been lurking, this appears to be a very knowledgeable and helpful forum. My goal with this post is figuring out if where I'm planning to put my new walls will work, or if I need to revise before getting a building permit.
Currently the 3/4 bath has no venting for the drains, the nearest vent stack is 25+ feet away by the other bathroom in the house. So as part of this renovation, I need to have new vent(s) added up through the wall(s) and attic and roof. I've been trying to learn about drain/waste/vent pipe sizing and location codes, but it is very confusing to me. We have a crawl space with decent access, 1 floor, and an attic above.
This layout shows where existing pipes are, proposed pipes, existing walls, new walls, new fixtures, floor joists, and some other junk. It's sort of busy.
Can the necessary venting be built into any of the walls that the new fixtures will be located on? (The green wall on the left or the blue wall on the top/north side?) Do I need to move the north wall further north?
