Randi, I might have a lead on a plumber, lol. He is as old as the hills, but, experienced enough, and was told he loves to plumb, was told he is very very good. I was told he lived for plumbing. I haven't talked to him yet, cause of the time, it is late. But, I plan on it earlier tomorrow.
There is something wrong with this bathroom. I still think it is the floor. I think they screwed it up where there might be a few different things wrong; so, in essence, it might take more than a plumber to fix it, come to think of it. I might need someone who can make a better floor. Honest to God, the area of space around the flange is one of the problems. I think there is really only 2 screws holding it down, and they are only screwed thru luann board. I don't know much about wood at all, but, I think it is pretty thin. I can see the screws thru the access panel, which I had to fight to get. Yes, fight to get. I paid one handyman 50 bucks to put it in, and he did not do it; then, paid 150 to the one plumber to cut it in. I got screwed on that, too. Even getting an access panel. I don't mean to complain, lol, honestly, but, I am really sick of this.
This one plumber, this older plumber comes highly rated, but, I will tell you what, unless, he sees something to the floor, I don't think it will matter much how he sits this toilet down. I think there is something to the heating vent or ductwork, too. It never did the banging noise before, when I say before, I am talking about before I needed to replace the bathroom here. Now, when the furnace comes on and off, so does this vent. It contracts and expands, I know that much, and have figured out it is mostly liking explaining the noise, which is no biggie; but, I think it is flexing the floor right on the edge of the toilet somehow.
I would bet my cat on it, lol. And, I love him dearly. lol. Not enough not to gamble with him, lol.
I am not at fault with this problem. It is not anything I have done wrong, or not done, or should had done; I have paid my dues on this, and them some.
I can't fly you in, Randi, lol. But, I know this much, and Rugged, I am being quite honest when I say, and as you have said, Randi, this area sucks with the plumbing industry.
I put a new roof on, it is great. The servicemen were great. I put in a new furnace, again, no problem. It is great, servicemen were great. I have done plastering and met the most wonderful older man who did the work, beautiful work. Then, I met the plumbers...
...not all the plumbers were *******es, I am not saying that, although some absolutely were; just some plumbers could not fix the problem. The toilet still leaked. I have had those plumbers, the nice ones, back a few times each resetting it, redoing this or that to no avail. They could not fix it. It is nothing I can be faulted for.
There is a problem somewhere, that no matter who I get, can't fix it. I think it is the floor. I keep saying that, I have actually gotten down on the floor with a level, and friends, it aint even. I don't know how much that plays into the problem, but, shouldn't it be even? It is not off enough to make a marble roll or nothing like that, but, shouldn't the toilet be shimmed?
Just my 2 cents worth. You got to admit, one thing, I am learning.
