I just spent the entire night purchasing a new toilet. Plus, I’m not even sure I purchased the right size toilet. Extra plus, I’m pretty sure that I will be returning the wrong size toilet tomorrow night. Great sadness, worthy of a potty adventure. Sort of a wastewater Odyssey setting sail.
A bit if unsolicited advise. Call a plumber. Some DIY projects are best left to the pros. You may pay more but what you Dave in aggravation is well worth it.
Consider it done. I just bought the toilet for them to install. Winning, well sort of losing, but soon it will be over.
