Hi,
We recently had a fire in our house and are finally back in and finishing up a few leftover things we didn't have the restoration company do. My wife had bought a vanity a number of months ago which has a large opening in the back where the drain pipe would go, but of course the drain pipe in my bathroom is set just below that so it hits right into the cross piece of wood that runs between each side. I could drill a hole to pass the pipe through, but the trap would extend below the shelf and I'd have to cut a hole in the shelf to allow for the trap to fit. Definitely not ideal...
I've attached a picture of the bathroom when it was down to studs and that drain pipe is about 16" from the floor. Could I redo the pipe right where it comes into the bathroom and have it go up about 4" or so using 45 degree elbows to get the rise just right? I would think that's not an issue, but not sure what might be required based on how it's vented.
Thanks!
Chris
