Looking for some advice on moving this kitchen sink. Right now it’s in a corner which doesn’t really work for any reasonable layout. We want to move it about 2ft to the left and I’m just trying to gauge how tough of a diy it is and if there’s anything special I need to consider. Here’s what I think I probably need to do:
1.cut back the copper and shark bite some pex to it, and run that through the studs to reach where the sink will be.
2. Cut the pvc drain line and put a new T joint in that goes straight left through the wall
3. Add a 90 degree joint and somehow get that lined up with the trap arm

Anything glaringly wrong with this plan? I’m fairly handy but I’ve never done any plumbing before. Appreciate any guidance or advice, even if it’s that Im better off hiring a plumber.

The trap arm has to stay basically at the same height as the connection at the main
Drain so you would have slight pitch from your trap arm to the connection at the main drain
