Ok Guys.....first post here......need some advice.
I am in the midst of building a new home on Mobile, AL. We are at the point where ceramic tile has been put down (not grouted yet) and toilets have been set. All three toilets have been roughed in in the wrong spot. The 1/2 Bath toilet in my house has the tank 7" off the wall. The other two toilets are noticably not centered......the 2nd bath toilet is prob off by 7"-8" to one side. It is 15" off of the closest wall......but not centered in the space.
My question is.....
Should I leave well enough alone and just live with this or have the plumber fix it. It will involve busting concrete and moving lines and relaying tile. The general contractor said he backchecked the locations of these drains prior to the concrete pour. He also missed the location of the drains on both tubs and had to chip concrete in both tub drain wells to find the drain pipe.
Another fiasco.....his standard install was Briggs toilets. I asked him what the upcharge would be to install Toto Drake's........he quoted $97 additional per toilet for the Toto's. I said....what a bargain....go for it. Now.....they are in my house......wrong location......and they are the Toto Carusoe......not Drakes.
Gotta love it.
Am I asking for trouble later down the line if I have them bust the slab and move these toilets?
So far in this entire process......the plumber has not impressed me at all.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
