    Main Drain
    I am in the middle of remodeling my kitchen and trying to do it on my own I have run into a problem I am trying to move my dishwasher to the other side of the sink but the main drain pipe is on the outside wall of the area I want to put the appliance and this is preventing it from fitting flush against the wall is there anyway to move it down about 8 inches? And if not what is my other option?

    If I understand the question the stub-out's in the way of where you wish to move the DW. Right? You have three options open.
    1) pull the cabinet, open up the wall and move the pipe, **OR**
    2) Open up the outside wall and move it. **OR**
    3) Move the DW to another location.
    When I had to replace my horzontal drain line and stub-out I broke out the concrete block outside wall. Replaced the pipe and patched and painted the
    Wall and you can hardly tell where I made the patch. Good luck Tom
