OK getting ready to put floor tile in the bathroom...what do i do
about running it up against the toilet and bathtub? obviously i
dont want to life either...do i just run the tile against the base
of the tiolet and bathtub, then caulk and seal?

thanks all

You're going to try and run the underlayment (like Hardibacker) AROUND
the toilet too?!

OK, what's the floor covering now and what is the floor made of -
wood, concrete?

right now it's vinyl flooring on plywood..


Doesn't matter. I, like everyone else, am gonna tell you to stop
trying to plan out a hack job incorporating as many future headaches
as possible and pull the damn toilet.

yep...looks like that's the future...



I finaly had to replace a 40 yr old toilet at cottage. Big crack
developed in tank. I really dreaded doing this as I had never done befor.
Old toilet came up easy, bolts were rusted & they fell off. I cleaned
flange, stuck a wax ring on new toilet & dropped it back on. It was so
easy I just replaced a toilet at house.This was a bit harder because I
had to cut bolts but after that it was easy also. This summer I'm going
to tile cottage bathroom floor. I'm beginning to feel like a pro pulling
& replacing toilets.
