    Replacing toilet flange

    Luken...The flange I drilled out was "very" easy to do. The lead posed no difficulty to drill through. Took maybe 10 minutes and only needed one drill bit. No harm to the drill bit at all.

    Replacing toilet flange

    Hey Randy...Yeah, I've found that Lowes and Homey Depot both have their strengths and weaknesses. Around here Lowes has a great display of plumbing parts up on their wall above the parts and Homey Depot has a somewhat embarrassing few shelves of toilet plumbing as if it is an after-thouight...
