Two quick reminders:
- there is a wax gasket that goes between the
bottom of the toilet and the top
of the floor
that seals the connection to the
sewer. This
item is not reuseable. If you are going to pull out
your toilet, make sure you have one
of these
on hand. They are not very expensive
and
easy to install. Also, since it is
wax and
must melt to seal tightly, make sure
you
are re-installing the toilet on a warm
day
or in a warm room.
- when you remove the toilet, be sure to seal
up the opening while you have the toilet
off. In some cases there may be some pretty
noxious odors emanating from the sewer. Even
if not, you will be surprised at the creepy-crawlies
that call your sewer their home. Use a rag
or a piece of cardboard to seal the opening
and to keep them in their home and out of
yours.
