Hi, want to remove an old toilet so that I can have access to repair
the bathroom walls. Once I remove the toilet is their a device that I
can buy to put over the opening so that gasses dont get released into
the bathroom.. I dont want to install a new toilet just yet, I have
work to do on the walls. Thanks

Cut a piece of 1/2' plywood to cover the flange and put a couple holes
in it. Make a gasket to put between flange and plywood then bolt it
where the toilet bolts down.


3/4" plywood would be stronger.


Got elephants running loose in the room? It doesn't take much to
cover a hole and if you're not walking on it, it requires no strength.
