    Hi Nortonalberta...

    You want to cut into the 2" drain as low as possible as previously discussed. You want the sink drain to end up at about 15-17" off the floor. Pitch pipes at 1/4" per foot of pipe...hang pipes every 4 feet...install clenaout as indicated in drawing...reduce to 1.5" for sink... reduce vents to 1.5", but pipe the washing machine drain up full size 2".
