I've got a 67 year old toilet that is cracked and also has started
leaking a bit down onto the pipes in the basement. I've never put in
a new toilet, but from everything i read, it doesn't sound like brain
surgery. One obstacle that makes me want to get a pro to do it is
that the water supply line to my toilet goes straight into the wall.
It doesn't have a shut off value that I can easily get to. Has anyone
seen one like this? Will I just need to shut off the water to the
entire house before starting work on it?

Fixing the crack might be easier...


The leak isn't coming from the crack. I think the wax ring or flange
might be bad. The crack is more of an aesthetic thing on the bowl and
near the base. The toilet has a mfg. date of 1940 on it...i think its
time has come...
