Is it ok if I do my shower drain like this?
Author: Bobrob33 (KY) I'm having a lot of trouble getting my shower drain/riser straight, and was wondering if it's ok if I do it like this: [imgur.com]. There are no vertical dips, just a slight curvature horizontally due to the 22 1/2. Would that be alright? Thanks!

Author: icesailor (MA) It looks fine until you try to glue it. Then it won't fit. Then, there's all the wood butchery of the floor joists. It must be on a upper floor. What's with turning a 2"X 8" into a 1"X8, part way down the joist? The 2 5/8" hole through the joist. Not in the middle third of the joist. My won't it squeak when the water flows through it and it expands and contracts.
