I've got an 2 story house that was built in the late 1960s. I am trying to redo the master bath. I have attached a general layout of the the master bath as well as a rough plumbing sketch. The existing wet wall currently feeds both upstairs bathrooms. It is all cast iron piping. the floor is 2X8 construction so i don't have much room to work with. The main level bathroom does not share a vent stack with the upper level. My bigger concern is the drains for the tub and shower. They are quite long runs. I am planning on tying into the existing cast iron and I may remove a fair amount of the horizontal run. I believe the cast iron is lead soldered together? what is the best way to remove? The floor joists run from left to right on the general layout sketch. That is the main reason I am planning on running parallel to the existing and tying in on the vertical section below. This is a great site with tons of information. Thanks for the feedback.
