    Installing a New Toilet

    Our old pink toilet () needs a new flush system, and I got a fancy dual-flush commode at Costco for $90.

    Our local handyman says he'll install it for $125, but I think that's a little too much, and I'm inclined to do it myself.

    I helped my dad seat two of ours when I was a teenager, but that's been awhile, and it was copper drain lines with copper flanges, and I remember him cussing like he was back in the Navy.

    I watched this video:

    Is it really that simple? I know that the toilet's flange was replaced four years ago right after we moved in (it was under warranty), and I know that it's PVC and above the floor surface.

    Any tips are appreciated.

    Perhaps one of the easiest DIY projects out there. It really is that simple. At least it was for me both times I tiled our bathrooms.

      Super easy. This is a no-brainer DIY job. Though I think the same of mounting a flat panel TV.

        You've probably spent more time researching how to do it than it will take to complete the job. This is so easy, DDD could do it.

          FYI, the flat screen turned out to be super easy. It took me about 10 minutes on the phone. Snap!

            A pink toilet is nothing. I once replaced a piss yellow toilet. It was really ugly, though it could be argued that the color could allow you to stretch the interval between bathroom cleanings.
