Sometimes you work on an older home that's been plumbed a few times. Last year I had replaced a tub for the home one door down from this one. A 60's home with some cast and some ABS. The existing waste to the toilet had the wrong grade on it. We decided to flip the tub drain location, fix the grade, and raise the height of the lav so that the drain didn't hit the drawer in the new cabinet.

Wet venting the toilet with the lav.

Don't look too close. There were things done before on the framing that should have been better. Someone else was in charge of that.

Not the tub I wanted to install, but here it is. It's solid, installed with mortar for support. Small piles the squish out and away.
I liked the Geberit drain on this.

I always test to the overflow.

Looking better with tile.
