    Great video! Any advice for me? The previous owner installed flooring in the bathroom adding about 1/4 to 3/8″ without changing the toilet connection. Looks like someone used two or three wax rings at a time for this but I had no luck with two rings on my first try. Any special I could try on my second go round? thx. – Jon

    Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, I really wished I would have paid attention to my dad when he would do this stuff, instead of watching cartoons! haha
    Thanks again!!

    Yes, It would be obvious if you have a poor seal. Water on floor or bad sewer gas smell would tell the tale. Hope all works out if not new wax ring and toilet bolts and all is well. Good luck===Bob

    Great Video, too bad I watched it after I installed my toiled doh!
    I MAY (probably) did wiggle the toilet as you specifically instructed not to, will any leaks in the seal be clearly apparent by smell or water around the toilet or should I re do the whole thing?

    Thanks.. keep up the great work!

    If you are eliminating the toilet completely I will be assuming you will be repairing floor also.There are caps available for copper,p,v,c,and cast pipes in appropriate sizes to your pipe.open your floor,or ceiling below and cut pipe at straight section,not at elbow or hub,Install cap.There is a thick rubber cap available that can be installed with a screwdriver if you are concerned about your installation skills.Dont accidentally cut and cap any active drainlines connected to it,seek pro.-Bob

    wow is it really that easy???
    Thank you excellent excellent instruction.
    Question for you though, how to you cap off an area where a toilet was installed. I no longer wish to keep the “powder room” that came with my old house and have no clue as to capping off the plumbing. Any advice would be most appreciated.

    Morter may glue toilet to floor making it not removable without breaking it.I would recommend plaster of paris making sure you allow as much drying time as possible before using toilet.Good luck===Bob

    What do you do when you have an uneven floor? Ive seen mortar put down underneath the toilet to stabilize it. Have you ever seen this?

    I also have many stories about boneheaded things done during projects.Hot water run to toilet seems to be a common occurance!Thanks for post.===Bob

    contractors… please NEVER put the toilet’s
    water-feed pipe directly behind the toilet. Always place it off to the side. I replaced a toilet today,the pipe was directly behind the toilet preventing it from being mounted. If the pipe had been to the side the job would have been 20mins instead of 6hrs. (long story)
