Agree. Replaced many a crapper as can be expected.

Did you have to get special hazmat permits?

Exact thing happened to me about a year ago. There is probably a hairline crack near one of the bolt holes in the tank. Replacing the whole unit is not hard, just nasty business cleaning up the old wax seal.

The worst part is picking it up and trying to put it in like a big garbage bags to carry it out in. That last bit of water in the bottom is the worst.

Mine's 20 years old, I think it may be time.

Hopefully the bolt ring is good and there’s no board rot.

Easy job.

Easy job.

Floor is concrete, no worries. I replaced the last one, no prob

My wife is same way. Offered to hire a cleaning person for her, as she works harder than I do, but refused, saying it would take me more energy to clean weekly before person got here, so forget it. Sounds like birds of a feather.

We bought a single floor condo for my mom and I needed to replace one of the toilets. When I pulled up the LVP, the concrete underneath where the ring was, was not flat and the ring was shimmed. YGBFKM

My wife came along by accident, her parents were in their mid 40's when she was born. They're depression era Brooklynites and they instill that mindset into her. In 30 years we've only had visitors a handful of times because she's convinced that everyone who steps through the door is critiquing her cleaning, decorations.... everything. That's fine though. It's too much stress so I let it go. As long as no one is expected it's all good.

I guess I'll find out soon but the last time I replaced this same toilet it was easy peazy.

Dubs, sounds like our wives are sisters from different mothers. We're selling our house, and just had a hugemongous yard sale. Well, have a realtor that's across the park from us, and wants the house for her mother. Anyway, am stalling said realtor, as my wife will NOT allow me (!) to bring her over to take a gander. House is a mess, and she'll see. Said that she's used to seeing through the clutter to the 'bones' of the house. Nope, am told. Anyway, am doing what can to make house presentable (heck, I don't know where she puts things) so we can show this git on the road. So took your post to heart....

It can be very trying at times. BTW, I fixed the toilet.
