<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Over all these years I have always been able to work around plumbing vents. Now I find one that is just in the way. My foreman suggests we 90 it out of the way, and makes the point that there are vent 90s in the walls all the time. Is there any concern about this practice?</span><!-- o ignored --></p>
