The existing toilet drain pipe is less than 3’ away so there isn’t any vent connection. Also, it connects straight to the stack. We wanted to install a wall mount toilet. I was wondering if the plumbing is possible. I would have to build out the frame to make room for the in-wall tank since I...

Hi everyone, looking for advice to finish out this half bathroom floor. The end of the joists sits inside a metal I-frame beam. Previously, the floor was all mortar. I’m doing plywood. I was wondering what would be the best way to attach the subfloor on this metal beam

I measured it this morning it’s sticking out about 7/8th to 1” — is there a way to build up the joists?

the issue now is the went vent: it sits on the joist as it goes to the left and connects to the line from upstair bathroom. If I use plywood, I would have to leave that part open. Is that okay? What does that do for my tiles? Also, a plumber is suggesting to replace the galvanized pipes with...

It was flushed with the kitchen that’s because they did the same thing (now, it makes sense) where they tiled over existing tiles. Kitchen and this bathroom was on the same level but there was a step up from the dinning room wood floor to the kitchen. But I will be redoing the kitchen soon so I...

In your opinion, what would be the correct way? Go with cement again or plywood/cement board route instead?

Yea, leaving the toilet as is for this bathroom. I got a little worried so stopped digging. The issue is where the toilet main is, there’s no wood. It’s all open. I can see it from the basement. Thinking if I should redo all the plumbing, bring them lower and then install a 3/4 plywood/OSB or or...

Yes the large one is where the toilet was. The second pipe just attaches to another pipe, not the sink drain. Most likely a wet vent. As for the floor, there were two layers of tiles. The bottom layer of the tile had almost 2 inches of mortar/cement underneath. There really is not much holding...

My diy half-bathroom project isn’t going the way I had planned. First, it was the rock lath wall. And now this: looks like the used cement to do the floor and the pipe is sticking out. I’m not even sure what that pipe is for. Am I way over my head? Is it possible to DIY this? Im thinking new...

So, I am attempting to renovate a small half-bathroom and my house has this old 1950s Rock-Lath Plaster wall. Currently, the walls are not tiled. I wanted to tile the walls half-way. Because it's an old home and these Rock-Lath walls seem to be very inconsistent (not plumb/straight/square), I...
