Default laying linoleum in bathroom

If I want to lay linoleum in my bathroom do I need to remove the toilet or
can I cut to fit around toilet and then use caulk around the toilet to
seal it? Also, If I do have to remove the toilet to lay the linoleum
properly, how do I do that?


If you want to do it right you should remove the toilet. Otherwise your
asking for trouble down the road when the caulking fails or let's say
you need a new toilet and its "footprint" is not the same.

Removing the toilet is not too big of a task. You'll need to disconnect
the water line and take loose a couple of nuts near the floor. Make
sure you put a NEW wax ring in when you put the toilet back in.

Good Luck,
