Well, I think that might take more work since the walls are old and you would have to break through brick firewall and do a fair bit of plaster patching. Since the bathroom is on the first floor and since we have a tile guy coming in tomorrow anyway to do another job, I thought it might just be easier to have him cut a hole for us...

If your tub or toilet floods, you will have water going down the floor vent. Something to think about.
