   Paul,

   The waste line exiting the house should be below the  frost line anyway, but yeah, you will have some pretty deep trenchs when your all done. Make sure you double triple check all wall and toilet layouts as you set your stubs.

   I usually dig all trenchs to the frost line, slope the pipe up from there to the stubout elbows. Run a good tall vert, wrapped with thin microbubble wrap and tied to rebar stakes. Back fill with sand/pea gravel, packing by foot under the waste lines and to 6" above the lines, then use a vibrating plate tamper with 4"-6" lifts.

   It's a good idea to recheck all slopes after you get the backfill up to the bottoms of the pipes.

   After you know the finished floor grade, set the toilet flanges and any floor drains to grade before you pour the floor.
