Oh, gosh, I’ve been studiously avoiding tiling for years now. I think any how-to I wrote on it would be four or five times longer than this one.

I think this was one of the best ‘How To’s’ I’ve ever read! Your ‘tongue and cheek’ style was so enjoyable and funny… and your comments worked great too!!
Do you write on other subjects besides toilets? Would love to read more.
Any comments on tiling???

Your link @ the top : “skip the whole “removing the tank” part”

doesn’t work.

You should try removing a toilet pan set properly in concrete in one piece???

Next time a nut won’t screw like it should, try using a threading tool or even screwing a steel nut onto it to recut the thread. Done carefully, this allows nuts to be removed and easily reused. (I usually tip excess water down the hole you leave removing the pan).

I am nobody’s handyman, but have learned a lot since becoming a homeowner. Replaced my toilet today, abusing the English language as always on these projects. Your blog was a great help, and the Stud Meter bit is hilarious. When it actually worked out, my stud meter’s needle broke!!
