hi all,
We're trying to redo our half bath. I cannot find a toilet-sink combo I like that will totally cover the footprint of the old toilet. the existing floor is hardwood. What's the best plan of attack? How much trouble is it (time, money) for someone to uninstall the toilet long enough for us to gauge the state of the floor under it and reinstall it? Is this totally insane? I am hesitant to buy a toilet without knowing this. I guess the alternative would be to uninstall it and leave it that way until the new stuff goes in. We do have other bathrooms in the house but that's really inconvenient.
Would you generally expect a wood floor to be ruined underneath a toilet? There is no history of leaks that we know of but we only moved in in the past year. There are no signs of structural rotting like rocking, etc. At first I thought the little bit of gray around the toilet footprint meant messed up wood but on closer inspection it seems to be wax mixed with dust.
Thanks very much!
