Toilet installation
I am replacing a linoleum floor with ceramic in one of my bathrooms. I have
a couple of questions. Since the floor is going to be somewhat higher than before, do I have to add an additional seal to the toilet? Since it is a two-piece bathroom on the main floor, we are replacing the vanity with a pedestal sink. Can I lay the floor before rerouting the water feed and drain pipe? If I do, how do I cut the tile after it's laid or should I mock up the sink and cut the tiles beforehand? |

Check this site out: http://www.plumb-bob.com/ultraseals.html I would never use wax seals again after replacing two floors from water damage leaking around the seal. This is the way to go !
