Hi all; this is my first post.
I am a DIY guy, and putting an apartment in a new Pole Barn, and doing most of the work. I have just passed all electrical and framing inspections, but ran into my first challenge with plumbing. We contracted all the under concrete plumbing to a local plumber, and he didn't follow the blueprints of where my wife's tub is going in her bathroom. He put its drain, under concrete, 4 feet closer to the toilet than the blueprints showed. The way it is located, there is less than a foot between the side of the toilet and the tub. My question is this: I would like to install a raised floor in the bathroom, back where the original drawing shows the tub, so I can put the tub's trap above the concrete, and angle the output drain pipe to the location in the floor cutout. I have 10' ceilings here, so I am not vertically limited at all.
Is this a bad idea? I really don't want to cut the reinforced concrete floor to relocate the drain if at all possible.
Thanks
