I've put down my hardiboard and ready for tile -- also know where I want to mount the toilet flange and have already cut the circular opening through the hardiboard and subfloor.
Is it possible to just lay the tile so the outside of the the toilet is resting on the tile but the flange is mounted to the hardiboard? I'm guessing because of the thickness of the flange itself, almost 1/4", like the tile that it would be ok.
Of course, that way I don't have to try and cut a circle in the tile.
In other words -- flange would be seated on the cement board, not the tile.
