I have all elongated toilets. As a guy, larger target. I am in to good function which is why I like toto's. Sounds like a tight space. Good luck.

This is a great site. It is up to me to judge the advice given. I am a diyer. I do projects because I like to and I know that it will be done the way I want it to be done. I bounce things on...

check out my thread for the aquia. I just installed it . First time drilling through tile; what a pain . the toilet works well and looks great. Easy to get. If your plumber balks at the...

I have an aquia, drake and 2 caryles. All are great. Only had to plunge the caryle after my daughter put a whole roll of paper in it. All are cheaper than kohler in general. Terry has a good section...

I cut out the drywall and for 3.28 in parts I raised the drain to the right height. I checked it 4 times before I glued the pvc. The vent was no problem. I went back and looked at the specs. ...

You are 100% correct. I live a rural area and I have seen people burned and I have been burned. I am always on the lookout for someone you is into small projects but have not found one.
I have...

I am impressed with you diligence but not all pros are the same. I find small projects are not taken on, get up charged to discourage hiring or wait many months. I asked 2 builders who I trust(...

I have a drake, 2 caryles, and an aquia. They all work well. The drake is a traditional installation and the other 2 use a unifit which requires drilling at 6 holes. It comes down to cost , style,...

thanks for your thoughts on my problem. I will look at it tomorrow. I did think of cutting the legs but I think just moving the drain will be easier. I will reply when it is fixed.

thanks, I cannot lower the p trap. If I do , I have to cut into the shelf and drawer. The sink is a top on 4 posts with a drawer at the bottom. The outlet in the wall sits right above the shelf. ...

okay. the only way to install the p trap correctly here is to cut open the wall and raise the drain pipe. The consensus here and what I have read about p traps is that they have to be installed as...

Good points. My wife would agree with you.
It is not always easy to get a pro to take on the small projects. Experience and expertise do cut down on frustration. I do appreciate the input on this...

thanks for the reply genie. The pipe in the wall that the horizontal pipe would go into is too low. The bottom of the bottle p trap will end above it. I could use elbows to raise up to the...

I am a novice but just redid a bathroom.
1. Use a pipe cutter it is easy to use. Buy a round wire brush cleaner, it works well to polish the copper.
2. I would solder on the valve if you can. I...

Thanks for the replies. I see all of your points. The drain is too low. I will have to cut the wall and raise it. I cannot cut into the shelf because there is a drawer there. I did not want to...

A couple of comments as a novice.
1. Very hard to drill through tile but after several hours and bits I got it done with a 1/4 bit. Their template was hard to use but was accurate.
2. I did not...

Looking for advice. I am finished with the bathroom remodel and I am putting in the sink. It has a shelf and the wall opening for the drain is just above the shelf. This sink has a T p trap: it...

Thank you again for all of the replies. This is a good site for advice. To wet boots I am talking about the bottom thread of the valve not the part that goes to the washing machine.
My old washing...

thanks for the replies.
For clarity. I only soldered a female threaded fitting and then screwed in the male nipple for the washing hoses to that fitting. I used teflon tape for the male fitting...

I am moving a washing machine . I have soddered the copper pipes and I had to thread a male 1/2 in. nipple( brass with ball valve) in to a female 1/2 copper threaded joint , that I soddered on . ...
