The pipes for the toilet are at this point ABS.

I'm thinking I have to rebuild some sort of flat base for it... but

what
to
do with the pipes that are aligned for the current base?

Assistance please?


Have you removed the toilet yet to see what the condition is? The ABS

is
relatively new and may be in good enough shape that you don't have to
change
it. Can you replace some of the floorboards and shim then to proper
height? Wax seal would have to be new of course.



It's a 1916 house with relatively new ABS pipes.
The toilet has been up recently and they look pretty good.
Floorboards would be quite a problem... the floors are period tile that
would require a great deal of work to reset... but it's possible,
certainly.


try using 2 wax seals
