In trying to do the right thing by my better half, I promised to at least scope the ability to move the toilet (swap with vanity) in a small bath, which needs to be relocated more or less 3~3.5 ft. but over 2 joist bays. The only way I could see doing this (because we don't have enough meat on the joists to drill holes through) is to come off the vertical stack in the basement and run a new line.
I tried (poorly) to draw what I'm thinking might work, but am concerned about venting. Knowing that the shower was added on by the previous owner, I'm not really sure the original dwv was sufficient.
I'm hoping some of you folks with a lot more knowledge can tell me if this is feasible or needs a more major / intrusive work to accomplish moving the toilet. Is it typical to run back to the vertical run to move joist bays? Is the 2" wet vent sufficient for this new run (still)? Any other concerns that make this more challenging or a not OK?
Thanks!
