Hi guys, Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I've got one further hurdle to getting this solved. It is the washing machine. How do I tie it into my main sewer line? My main sewer line exits underneath the north exterior wall. I have a backwater valve in line, right before it exits...

That's very helpful, thanks. I'm sorry I didn't take a better picture of what's going on on the other side. I can definitely make the change to get the additional vent line in, and connect into the toilet closer to the backwater valve as suggested. Maybe this top-down will be helpful...

Thanks guys. What do you mean by the "extra rim joist"? I couldn't make much sense of their drawings. In the first drawing it says the window header should be "secured to the joist above", but it is in between and parallel to the joists above. A bit of blocking to secure the wall to isn't...

Hello, I am developing a basement suite and was required (in order to have a permit issued) to get engineering drawings for the egress window expansion. The drawings I received are below. As I understand it, the bracing wall is to share the load of the main floor, particularly where...
