Thanks for the offer. I am sort of thinking of just go ahead and doing it and then not having to worry about it. Too bad I didn't come to this conclusion when I already had the jackhammer last weekend, but oh well, at $40 to rent, it could be worse.
I've figured out where the nearest drain vent is to the roof and determined that it is just a vent (ie., not a drain from any upstairs sink). So it won't be too bad to snake a 1.5" line through the ceiling over to it and tie it in.
The main thing is time, my wife works this weekend so I have to find me some babysitters to entertain the kids while I hammer away at the floor. I'm pretty sure the floor drain line runs right underneath the laundry sink so it just needs to come up and then Y-fitting it over to the vent line that will have to snake its way up the wall and through the ceiling. This might be something I can work on during the week after the kids have gone to bed - getting it all roughed in so that all that needs to be done on the weekend is the jackhammering, tie-in, and re-concrete-ing..
