This will be an on going project. I am putting in a bathroom, at least a shower, sink and toilet. I have torn out the shelves in the pantry and I have reinforced the floor with plywood. I have purchased a toilet and shower stall. I have to build a wall for the stall to be mounted to so it won't fall over.
I have had to learn a lot more about plumbing. It can be complicated. There are many factors to keep in mind at the same time. There is a drain/waste system, a vent system, and a water supply system. I have the drain and vent system in place now without the pieces being glued together so I can adjust and move them as I build around them. I have started the wall. I have the vent going from under the house up through the floor and through the ceiling and out the roof.
My next purchase is a sink and cabinet to put it in, then I will know where the supply and drain lines are to go for the sink and I can drill those holes and fabricate the drain connection for the sink. After that I can start joining the drain pipes together. First everything has to fit.
I will be adding to this post as I go along. I sure hope that it all works well. I haven't done this much plumbing before.

Can you come here when you finish? We have a super small bathroom and are redoing it. Going to take the tub out and just put in a shower stall so we will have more room to turn around in the bathroom. Got to change the sink out too. Can't wait to see how your project goes.
I feel sorry for you if your doing it yourself. Plumbing is a pain in the patoot, and working in a crawl space is some sort of torture.
I don't think I will put in another bathroom again. It is a lot of work and very frustrating.
