Summary: How to install a toilet is not as big a question as you might think it is. It requires moderate skills and you must install the piping to code. Failure to do this could lead to serious health problems.

I have a pre-built home that is about 4 years old. I would like to insulate
several of the interior walls. How would I go about doing this without
ripping out the sheetrock? I have seen a few explanations, but most end up
by saying call a contractor. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

David,
Why not rent a cellulose blower?

My husband and I had to replace the floor under our toilet and we also
retiled our floor but the flange for the toilet is twisted.We havent moved
it at all because it was already installed but theres only one way the
toilet could face since its in a cut out. How can we fix the flange after
its glued to reinstall our toilet?

Maggie,
I don't know if there is a better place to use this acronym: You are SOL.
You need to do whatever it takes to reinstall a new flange. You *may* be
able to install a flange extender on top of the existing one. If so, you
dodged a silver bullet.

I have a wall between my dining room and living room. I want to make it a
half wall and give both a more open feel. How do I determine if this is a
load bearing wall or not. This is in a 2 story home.
Thanks

Jason,
You start by reading all of the columns in my Structural category. Read all
of the comments under each column as well.

I will be installing a slate floor in my tiny bathroom. I've (well, my
father-in-law) removed the old floor all the way down to the original
flooring that seperates the main floor from the basement. I'm looking at it
and thinking that once I add an underlayment and set the tile, I'm
concerned the floor height will be too much for the toilet to be installed.
Can't have a bathroom without a toilet! What can I do?

I had a toilet isntalled in a new guesthouse, however when it flushes there
appears to be a bump in the PVC that let's the paper settle and not
continue flowing to the sewer. A plumber has come out but states he's
stumped and doesn't know how to correct this matter as the bump is
underneath the new home.
Is there something I can do?

We have installed a new toilet. After you flush there is a noise that comes
from either the toilet or the pipes, it is ahrd to tell. It sounds like a
harrummp nad lasts for just a moment. It also happens sometimes even when
the toilet has been inactive for a while. Do you have any suggestions for
why this is happening and how can it be fixed?

I have remodled my bathroom and installed a new toilet and a pvc to cast
iron flange. The toilet is now 3 inches from the wall. Is there a way
that the flange could be turned to make it closer to the wall or do they
make an offset flange for PVC to cast iron?
