mr.yuck Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 @KILZ FILLZmy parents had that same countertop over the toilet deal in their house when they lived in Michigan. They ended up replacing the toilet with something... Ugh.. I feel like it was called a Toto. I think the tank was low slung so they had more clearance to work with under that counter top. I would look into that, and that would save you from having to tear the whole bathroom apart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say rip that whole counter top out and get yourself a nice used vanity. Then scrap that toilet and grab a new one. Probably looking at around 600 all in on the cheap but used or even cheaper. kinda leaning that way. These stupid counter tops remind me of the shit ass apartments I moved to and from growing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 With that tight of a clearance, fighting to seat it, a foam ring may be a better option if the tank heights remain similar. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot all about those. I installed one several years ago and my initial reaction was I'm never going back to wax again. Good suggestion man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Yeah, wax has been the standard for so long that people don't even know it's an option. They're just so much more forgiving with some of the more complicated toilets that you wind up rocking a bit to get placed. (like a lot of totos). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say this with caution though because i talk a lot of shit about diy and ain’t really done all hell much of it. The couple of things i have talked about and done were fairly easy but yeah, i guess what i mean is shop used and at least get your demo going fuck it. If you gotta throw in the towel at least you know you’re saving a solid chunk getting as close as possible. I watched the homie drop 20k on the most piece of crap as bathroom remodel about a year ago and it still haunts me to this day. Guys fairly handy. Seen him do plenty of easy work around his house to this point. Pretty sure it was a wifey call but fuck that. These contractors are out for blood. I know it. Better off trying to figure it out unless its something super special like the monster heating fiasco in my basement I wouldn’t dare touch. Quotes have ranged all the way from 37k down to 9. Sometimes i wanna drop all this business shit and go work for a reputable general construction company just to learn it all man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KILZ FILLZ Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Update : water is coming from my next door neighbor’s upstairs neighbor. Motherfucker, here we go again with this shit. the water I thought was coming from my toilet was actually coming under the wall I share with his bathroom. His shit got fucked up by the person above him and now I’m involved too. lastnight we noticed water seeping through the flooring in our kitchen and I took off work early today to meet with a leak detection guy. He couldn’t find a source in our unit so we went next door …. and boom. waiting on HOA to send a plumber out. we are gonna sell immediately after this shit wraps up. That’s three floods in about two years. Worried we are gonna be uninsurable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 I dealt with a condo building a few years back. The guy on the 3rd floor was a complete fuck ass. He drained his water heater into the bathtub to save some bucks on having a plumber do it. The hose fell out of the tub and into a heating floor vent. That 80s hard ducting filled with water and travelled all over the peoples unit below. Also during moving his dryer around he broke the connection off at the floor plate some how and was just blowing lint into their ceiling for what looked like a year possibly. I couldn't fuck with that level of stress dealing with some one else's problems becoming my problems. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason why we have homeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Put in a new shower head today - missing work down with Covid, round 3. Anyway - I actually found a dope contractor my folks have used and I am going to have him put in a vent in my rental unit (laundry closet). I am also going to have him install a range hood in my kitchen. I guess when you have someone else doing the work it’s not traphouse. Sorry guize. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) @nicklesndimesI work in treatment and so there are always a lot of people in small spaces. I got Covid in 2020 at work, 2022 from family and just last week at work. Its real guize, derp derp. I need to be better about masks and shit at work - after 3 years I am pretty burnt out on it. We have to wear masks and test daily. Most of you guys would have probably quit by now haha Edited March 15, 2023 by fat ralphy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 @nicklesndimes I am pretty good to be quite honest - worst day was Saturday and it was more or less a light flu vibe, neck ache, congestion etc The last couple times have not been too bad actually. That said I have received all doses of microchips and my DNA is altered - so that probably helps. I am actually getting a bunch of stuff done around the house having this week off from work and kids. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
