Just here asking your opinions and advice. I am not a plumber or DIYer ... we have just completed 2 bathroom renovations and all has gone reasonably well until final installation of products ... I posted regarding toilet issues on other forum ... in this case our 'new' plumber put our...

2nd plumber came back as one of the toilets was rocking a bit ... he put some plastic wedges underneath ... so far so good on that one. Our ensuite toilet was adjusted as well as after re-installing it, it was pushed right up against the wall and made an awful sound when trying to sit down ...
