Hello, My husband and I are doing a bathroom remodel and are trying to save money by doing some work ourselves. We are trying to move the vanity sink drain about 6 inches to the left. My only real concern is if the sink is going to drain properly once we hook it up. Here's some background info. We have a single story house with two full baths that share a wall and share plumbing. We had galvanized pipes that have all been replaced in various stages (attic lines first, then sewer line re-route to move everything out from under the house when we had foundation work done, and 75% of the vertical pipes done) All that is left are these bathrooms and the kitchen lines. So we gutted the bathroom down to the studs, cut out the galvanized pipes and replaced everything with cPVC. Our old vanity was a single right sided sink on a 60in top. We purchased a new vanity with the sink now sitting center. We were able to move the hot and cold lines over to the left to clear the new drawers. Now we have the drain to contend with. I have done some research on google and I believe that we have a soil vent that comes straight down from the roof and through the foundation. There is a second line that comes down from the attic that drains the AC unit and it connects to the vent pipe about a third of the way down from the ceiling. If you follow the vent pipe down there are two connections coming out of the vent pipe for both the master sink and the hall sink. My husband cut the drain on our side, added an elbow and some cPVC to direct it to the left. I'm not sure what his plan is from that point. Adding another piece that he can connect the p trap to that we can connect the drain to... I will add photos that will make things clearer. Right now the drain pipe just ends at the cold water valve. We plan on figuring the rest out tomorrow when he gets off shift (Fire Fighter) The Vent pipe is 1.5 inches in diameter and the drain will have moved approximately 6 to 8 inches horizontally to the left. Do we need to slope this pipe? or is it close enough? Also the toilet has it's own larger diameter waste vent pipe that is about 3 feet to the right of this. Also any suggestions for how to finish this drain? What type of connection would be easiest to turn it to attach the p trap? Thanks!

A few years ago I had my house interior completely renovated, except the guest bath was left vintage. At that time the kitchen and master bath were entirely replumbed, and the plumber also ran new hot/cold water supply lines in the attic up to and over the guest bath, but we did not replumb the guest bath at that time, opting instead to leave the old plumbing in the guest bath. So the new guest bath supply lines are still waiting in the attic to be hooked up to the guest bath fixtures (bathtub/shower and sink). Now I want to update the guest bath too. I want to do the wall and floor tile work myself. But I will call a plumber to do any/all plumbing. One option (the easiest) is to not redo the guest bath plumbing, instead just redo wall and floor tiles. In this case the guest bath will look good but have the old plumbing, and the new supply lines above will still be unused. A second option is to also tear out the drywall hiding the old sink and bathtub plumbing fixtures and go ahead and replace the bathtub/shower fixtures (the sink is new, but valves are old) and hook them up to the new supply lines up in the attic waiting just above the guest bathroom. If I did this, the entire house would now be new plumbing. The existing guest bath plumbing seems to work fine, except that blue stains had formed around the bathtub drain before I bought the house. I don't know if those stains portend a need to replumb the guest bath plumbing or not. Should I go the extra step (while I'm updating this bath anyway) and hook up the new supply lines above the guest bath and therefore have the house entirely finished/replumbed? Or leave the old guest bath plumbing alone because it's still working fine and just update the walls and floors? Thanks
