okay here's the toilet I gotta take up and replace the wax rings around work
goes into the soar flange so she also wants this bit day thing taking off and
I don't blame her because if I'm on the pot doing my thing and something squirts
me in the butt somebody's getting shot so go take that off but this is a very
small area here and this is the bottom part it's kind of heavy so I'm going to
take the tank off I'm going to drain everything take the tank off and that
way I just have to handle the this is the lower portion because there's just
nowhere to I mean you know this is it all right first thing to do is shut the
water off back here and then okay I'll be there in a minute yeah come drink it
just second pop these off okay that looks like half-inch okay let me go
drink my coffee I'll be right back
we don't go licking people's toilets get up go on I I run into some problems and
I just forgot the film so let me get you up to date this tank had that blue
tablet which turns into a syrup in the bottom of the tank so it was messier
than this job normally is so I had to really do some quick wiping and cleaning
I got the tank off I got the flange bolts off and one of them one of the
flange bolts is broken or not all there this isn't even the right bolt so that
might explain why this tow that was leaking around the gasket because there
was nothing holding it down to the flange in the meantime I got the bidet
thing off but whoever put this hun had just
slathered all kinds of glue on the toilet seat was broken but it had been
glued back together and nobody really noticed it until I took the pate off so
babe is going to get a new toilet seat and a longer hose that goes from the
tank because the day and the tank was connected to a tee that the bidet
connected to and then the tank o is connected to the top of the tee well
without the tee I'm about that short for getting back to the water line so what
I'm going to do next is pick the toilet up and the wife is going to have a
bucket here and she's going to try to catch some of the board if if I don't
quite make it into the sewer pipe and I got a tip this toilet up like this take
my putty knife scrape the old gasket up off the bottom of the toilet and off the
flange pipe
okay where's the toilet there's no wax on the bottom of it so it didn't it
didn't stick that this is the flange the toilet flange and here's one flange bolt
and here's what the other one is supposed to go so that didn't have one
and this really isn't much of a wax ring here I've got a tall ring I'm going to
put back on there and I'm going to clean all this up real quick
so let me get my buddy knife I bought some rubber gloves just for this portion
of it I bought the largest gloves they have and they will not fit I can't even
get my hands in the wrists so it looks like I'll be bare hand in this and yes
you may not want to know what that is see you in a little bit
okay that's looking better that's what I used I feel a little bit better now all
right this is where the other flange bolt goes that's not there
so uh wait for bed to come back from the store with a flange bolt and we'll mount
this put the wax ring on there and set the toilet back in on there and let it
settle into the wax and I'll show you what I got in a second
my god this is taking me three times longer than I thought it would and this
is exactly why I hate plumbing this has been so effed up by somebody previous to
me coming here the flange originally that was on this is broken off and all
the lip that held the require repaired flange this is a spanner planned it's
two pieces and it's meant to repair these it goes underneath the flange and
it bolts together well that wasn't on there right which is
why this thing was leaking so bad because you couldn't tighten the toilet
down to the floor so the only thing I can do besides busting up this concrete
cutting the pipe off putting a proper flange there pouring a concrete back
around it yes I call this Brad rigging or Yankee engineering since I'm a Yankee
and what I'm going to do is drill some holes several around the outer edge of
this put it on here put a little cocking underneath it you know before I put it
down I'll put talking here set this down drill some pilot holes where I've
drilled holes in here and screw this down on top of that flange I'll be able
to put the tank bolt the flange bolts back in here and this'll hold and it's
the best I can do besides going down to the concrete you can believe me I have
the tools to do that and if it comes to time I have to do that I will I have a
hammer drill that's more than capable the perforating bunch of holes around
here and busting this up and doing it the harder way so I'm going to do it
like this and I got stainless steel screws so they won't rust
and let me let me get to drill in here
all right I am very proud of that if I wasn't I wouldn't go home till I was
that's going to work it lasts the rest of her life
alright I'm going to put a wax rain on that put my flange bolts on there lower
the toilet down onto it and we'll be pooping before you know it
okay my wife is going to hold the camera well I just want to show you how these
flange bolts go in they go into this little slot here and you hold it up and
they come with this little plastic keeper you slide that keeper over and
basically what that does is hold it up while you set the toilet down over it
and okay now I'm going to do wax ring
okay there's the wax ring now I got to heat up get that toilet lower down there
carefully and like I said we'll be pooping in a minute
toilet noun 1 I've had to put it regular height wax ring on there now down here
on the sides i got a bolt it down to this the flange that i put in there and
start reassembling the the toilet here we've got a new seat i got to put a new
seat on because the old one was busted and alright I'll tighten this down show
you what I got
okay no leaks
okay I'm happy Plummer's whatever you charge punters double it alright thanks
