    Shower pan liner question

    I have installed shower pan liners before but they were in homes with wood stud walls. This house has masonry block walls. How do I attach the pan liner to the wall? Do I need to build out the walls to attach cement board? Will the folds in the corners be a problem with the block walls?

    New Toilet Does Not Completely Flush

    There is no test plug in the line. This was a tie in to the original main line and test was done in the main line. Toilets connected to the old main line work fine. I put the wax ring on the bottom of the toilet before installation. I pressed it on good to keep it in place but you never know...
