    Toilet rough hole is too big

    I removed the old cast iron toilet flange while remodeling. The hole in the floor is larger than I am used to and my new flange just barely overlaps the sub-floor, not enough support in my opinion, I would have to drive screws at an angle to bite into the sub-floor. So I ordered a flange support...

    Support for cast iron vent

    I am replacing my cast iron. The 3in cast iron goes thru roof boot. I was gonna pull it out also, but I've become concerned the boot won't fit the pvc replacement pipe properly since they have different od's.

Now I...
