How To Install a Toilet

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?

I am currently adding on to my bonus room above my garage and thought of adding a 1/2 bath as well. The laundry room is directly below where I am wanting to add the half bath. Would it be easy, if possible, to connect the drain for the toilet to the drain for the washer machine?

HI, I JUST BOUGHT A NEW HOME AND WANT TO RELOCATE TO BATHROOM ON THE FIRST FLOOR. I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THE TOILET OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TUB. I WANTED TO MOVE THE TOILET ABOUT 5 OR 6 FEET FROM WHERE IT IS NOW. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT I NEED TO DO. ALSO, HOW MUCH DO JOBS LIKE THIS COST IF I WERE TO HIGHER A PLUMMER AFTER I DO ALL OF THE DEMO? PLEASE HELP, THANKS

I believe something is broken under
the toilet bowl because when you sit
it pops up and rocks & moves. Maybe a broken flange or something like that.

Thanks, Jim

The toilet I am replacing has four bolts. The new one has only two bolts. Do I need a special flange or what must I do to make the new toilet fit? Any special parts needed? Thanks for your help.

I was attempting to install a new bathroom in the upstairs of my house. I was wanting to use the cast iron sewer/vent pipe that is being used for the downstairs bathroom. I was going to install a 3 way Tee or Y PVC pipe. Should I replace the pipe from where I place the PVC and up or would I be able to place the PVC pipe in between the cast iron pipe? How would I connect PVC to Cast iron pipe?

how to move a toilet over 1 foot

Great columns, very helpful

We're tiling our bathroom, and I've read the toilet flange needs to be 1/4 inch above the new floor. How do I accomplish this? When I had hardwood installed in another bathroom, the installers just doubled the wax ring. Should I be worried?

I am changing the location of my toilet. It is 7 feet from the main stack. Is this an acceptable distance and should I use 3 or 4 inch drain pipe.
