Plumber needs to add slope to vent pipe but is constrained by existing vertical pipe and joist structure, requiring custom offset and reinforcement.

No easy way to adjust vent pipe slope without cutting into joist or complex rework; currently using spare pieces for test fit and manual measurement.
