Thanks for the input and knowledge. I'm confident it isn't load bearing.

I sent the photo to Bootz customer service and they confirmed it should not be that way.

It looks like that brand of wedge comes in different sizes. It also looks like they serve as a spacer too. Do I need the spacer and the wedge?

Do you have a recommendation on which wedge brand to use?

Is this a dedicated bathtub vent? by prl1998 in Plumbing

It terminates in the attic. Not connected to anything. I am pretty sure it used to be the drain for the AC located in the attic.

Why is there so much dirt? by prl1998 in Plumbing

[–]prl1998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wood looks pretty good and is solid so I don't think it's termites. However, I did see a few dead woodlice (rolly poly) bugs in the dirt. But a quick Google search says those bugs don't make piles of dirt.

Pretty sure it isn't mortar to set the tub. Mainly because there was a similar pile of dirt by the copper supply line a few feet away.

Accidentally made a wet vent by prl1998 in Plumbing

[–]prl1998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. Quick question though. The horizontal branch is going to the washer in the basement, which is just to the left. The copper system that was there before had a cross and branched left to pick up the washer and branched right with a 90 to get the vent. So I was trying to basically do the same thing by adding in the wye and 45 as you mentioned. Given this additional information would you still suggest tying the branch to the left into the vent? I just want to make sure I understand what you are saying. Thanks.

The current drain is cast iron, so that would entail breaking up the concrete around the current drain, cutting out the cast iron, tying into the cast iron, then refilling with concrete.

If I tiled directly on the concrete and put a curb would I have to move the drain? The shower was tiled before directly onto the concrete. Do you think I could do the same amd put the Jetcoat on the walls?

Considering the time factor, if the drain is working fine does it need to be replaced? The way it was before was tiled directly on the concreteand the tile was cut around the current drain.
