Never approach a chore thinking this will take only a few...

minutes. :)

My MIL wanted a new toilet installed so I agreed to do it...I've done several. She wanted a taller throne that would be easier to get up from.

She got a Jacuzzi toilet...I schitt you not :!: :D

Welpers little did I know the terlet was 50 yrs old and installed when the house was built.

When I got the throne up of the floor there was 50 years of gunk underneath of it...YUK!

I got that cleaned up. Then there wasn't a wax ring or gasket :shock: it was an old cast iron flange with a lead filler. It took me over an 2½ hours to get all of that removed.

The rest after that went OK and took about 15 minutes to finish.

What I figured to be under a ½ hour took nearly 3 hrs but at least she now has a throne fit for a queen. :)
I only post using 100% recycled electrons.
