We have gutted a bathroom and purchased a furniture style vanity to replace the old vanity cabinet. The location of the sink on the new vanity is approximately 1 foot to the right of the of where the previous sink was located. We are trying to decide if we should call a professional plumber or DIY.
Additional details: We live in SC in a one story house with pier construction; plumbing is coming up from underneath the house. The stud finder indicates there is a stud between the current location of the plumbing, and where it will need to be for the new vanity. To give a visual: In the picture attached, I've shown the current plumbing and the location of the studs (with red lines); the black box indicates the location of where the opening on the back of the new vanity will be (the vanity opening is 8"x8"). The right side of the image is a picture of the new vanity.
We are DIY's with limited plumbing experience: i.e.: we have put in new bathroom fixtures, changed out the food disposal, fixed problems with toilets...but have not done plumbing related soldering (although we have done some soldering and welding in other applications). I've tried googling this - but can't seem to find a video which shows how to attack this so that we can evaluate if this is something we could do on our own. Was hoping someone would be willing to describe how to go about this or provide a link to a related video or post so we could decide which route to go here.
