Greetings all,
I have a little bit of a problem I was hoping someone could help me out with... I am renovating a bathroom (complete gut and redo) and come to a PVC cutting problem. The original vanity did not have a back wall to it so the piping for the sink drain came directly out of the wall and to the sink.. The new vanity is like a piece of furniture with a roughly 1'w x 18" opening in the back for the pipe to go through. Problem here is the original pipe hits the non-movable shelf of the new vanity. So what I decided to do is to install new PVC. Here is where the fun starts. I will need to cap off the old 2", cut 4" just above the existing double Y pipe, install new Y just above it and connect to remaning vent pipe. The major problem is that the 4" pipe is in the middle (more or less) of two wall studs and it butts up almost complete against the drywall from the room behind. How can I get in there to cut that 4" pipe? No room to get in there with a hacksaw to cut it between the studs and if I go to cut it directly on, I will destroy the drywall for the other room.. Any and all suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
