Howdy Folks ! New member here, been looking around this site some and looks like this is the place.
Anyway on August 17th a Ford F-150 pickup launched off the slope of my front yard, crashed through the front kitchen window and continued on until his front wheels were on the patio in back of the house.

Along the way he wiped out the kitchen sink, water risers, waste and vent stack, washing machine drain, etc. I rigged a temporary vent from the broken 2" cast iron back to what was left of the vent stack the next day, and yes duct tape was involved.
I've since gotten the framing work done and have started re-plumbing. I was able to get the broken off lead barrel trap out of the hub and install an adapter gasket and 2" PVC. About a foot up I reduced to 1-1/2", put in a sanitary tee and continued up and out the roof with 1-1/2".
Is this acceptable or should it be 2" the whole way ??? Oh, and washing machine drain and basement sump pump tie in 12" below sharing this vent. (Is this a 'wet vent' ? )
Waco, TX uses IPC.
I am an electrician, not a plumber, and I need lots of help in this regard. This is the first of many questions.
