I looked all over the web and couldn't find a free tool to help me figure out which plumbing pieces I'd need to do the rough-in drain/vent plumbing. So I resorted to the next best thing: PowerPoint.
I went on to the Lowes website, and began looking up their ABS plumbing stock, then I copied and pasted the pictures of the right pieces along with their SKUs in to powerpoint. Rotated and flipped them so that it made some semblence of sense, and was able to construct an online order in about an hour.
These pics make sense to me but probably to no one else. The circles with numbers in them indicate what size of ABS straight pipe I'll need to span between the joints.
I took a bunch of measurements a week ago, and I've got some large joist that I can't reasonably drill through, so this is where I got to so that most of the plumbing can be run between the joists at least until they reach the wall, at which point I'll have to cut holes to run them to the main stack.
I'm hoping I can get away with a few Studor vents instead of having to run vent pipes out the roof where they'll get covered by snow and sheered off when the snow slides off the roof. I'll need to do a sales job on the inspector.
