I'm remodeling my bathroom and have run into a major snag that is holding up progress. Tub and surround were damaged in shipping - I'm waiting on the replacements. Obviously, I can't finish the drywall, flooring, etc. prior to tub and surround installation. So, my wife and kids are getting very tired of staying at my in-laws, it's just tough with school, work, etc. We only have one bathroom at home. We can make a go of it if I can temporarily install the toilet - so here's what I'm thinking: Install the closet flange flush to the plywood floor, but don't solvent weld the pvc drain pipe to the closet flange. I'm using the new Fernco no-wax toilet seal, it seats down inside the PVC pipe. So I will have a non welded joint between the closet flange and the PVC pipe, but the Fernco seal should prevent leaks there. I'm concerned about getting this thing back apart however - the PVC is a tight fit into the closet flange - would it be ok to put dish soap on this joint and the Fernco rubber seal in order to ease disassembly? Then after finishing the flooring, I can install correctly. FYI - this is NOT my preferred method, I'd rather just tough it out until I can finish this project the right way - I hate doing things like this, but my better half is leaving me little choice. If there is a better way, can someone give me a suggestion or two?
