Love how you used CAD to show this. Very cool! You get a great look under the floor too. Thanks!
Yeah right, how about when the asshole plumbers cut the joist and the plywood fails cause the wax ring is leaking and the whole mess is rotten. Whatcha gonna recomend there? I can see you aint never worked in any apartments before. Tiolets leak and fuck up the subfloor, the water permeates the plywood, causing rot. By the time you realize this, it's a fucking mess. Your cartoon tutorial is not the real world fix, nice try.
Thanks for helping me solve my toilet flange problem. You rock man!!
Thank you i had rot from a leaking toilet and a guy we had doing it got arrested he didnt cut the hole so this helped. Should have known if i can do it my self i should and it will be done right now and up to code which is needed in a old 70'shome like this
Thank you so much for the assistance. Saved me from having to do it again soon.
Great video! I have to remove our flange because it is cracked through on two sides so I will just cut the hole for the pipe in my new subfloor piece. Glad to see how to do the blocks underneath for great support!
Do I have to cut a circular hole that is exactly the same size as the pipe? or square with a bigger empty space is fine since I dont have tool
What an excellent combination of quality information and visual demonstration!
I’m definitely going to see what other videos you have available.
What are you calling blocks? Your video looks like its showing a couple 2×4's and maybe a 2×6 and a 2×8… But either way thats not block. Plus if you split the joists when you cut the sub floor, add a nailer on each side why on earth would you add your "blocks"? Plus if you cut the floor up just cut the elbow off the drain and cut a hole in your new sub floor to fit the drain, add the flange after the floor is down and you dont need any of those crazy cuts. Flange on top of one inch floor with all the screws installed will not result in a wobbly toilet. This video makes this simple project harder then it has to be for literally no reason.
Thank you, the video gave me confidence to try it. It was a great help.
