Recapping two weeks of Oregon Ducks spring practice
Hey, would you be open to the idea of giving me a few pointers on the do's and don'ts of a major remodel job? Waiting for my middle son to graduate so that he is no longer in the house but I need to do some foundation work, redo all the electrical work and the plumbing and remodel my entire downstairs, includes a bathroom, bedroom, living room and laundry room and a pantry.
I want to do this thing right and I'd like to avoid any obvious mistakes. I'd be more than happy to pay you for your time. I'm probably at least another year, year and a half from making this happen so there is no rush but I assume that it's not something you just want to wing it on.

Measure from your back wall to the closet bolts that secure the toilet to the floor. Be sure to measure from the wall and not from the baseboard. Also, measure to any nearby water supply lines on the floor. Some toilets have a wider base that might not fit next to a supply line on the floor. It’s a good idea to measure from the bowl to a sidewall to be sure that the toilet will fit in your space.
Choose the shape of your toilet bowl. Usually, toilet bowls are elongated for comfort, but if you have a smaller space you might need a round bowl.
Once you have the new toilet, start removing the old one. When replacing a toilet, remember that toilets are heavy; it’s easier to remove the tank first and then the bowl. Here's how to remove a toilet:
Step 1: Remove the Water
