Hello. New here to this great site and happy to find it! I'm working on a '60s bathroom and have come across a problem that I need to address before going further. The room had a old tile mud job on the floor that I removed down to the original t&g subfloor. I going to add 3/4 plywood with 1/4 tile board then tile as the finished product. My problem is the toilet flange is to high and needs to be lowered about a 1/2". It's cast iron pipe with what looks like a cast iron flange that is leaded in. The flange itself is in good shape and the pipe's inner lining looks ok but not great as it is not smooth and looks gross and bumpy..lol.
What is the best way to lower the flange? I would like to avoid the leaded route if possible as I don't have the needed tools for this type of surgery. Many thanks in advance!!
