Hi all, i'm looking to relocate our toilet to the other side of the bathroom, backing on to an interior wall. Preferably i'd like to keep the soil pipe hidden, without having to run it around the room to the opposite side where the exterior wall and the existing soil pipe is.
So, i'd like to run it under the floor boards. I've taken up the boards, and there the joists are running across where the pipe needs to run. The joists are 100mm deep and there is a 125mm gap between them and the concrete below (ground floor bathroom).
The soil pipe would have to run about 2.5m to the other side of the bathroom to the outside, so there isn't enough space under the joists to give it the adequate angle it needs.
So, is it possible to cut some of the joists to allow it to run under the floorboards, assuming I prop them up at the same height against the concrete below? Or is this a big no-no??!
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
