Nah, Jar was just busting my chops because he didn't like the fact that I disagreed with him on a different thread.

Maybe so, but I wouldn't give out your address. :D

I put three balls of plumbers putty on the flange and set the stool down over it. When I tok it off the putty was compressed down to between 1/8" and 3/16".

Is this enough for a wax ring to hold. I don't want to have to pull it again.

Also, I remember once using a two part epoxy that looked like clay to level a toilet. I put a thin rope of the epoxy on the edge of the low side of the toilet. I put wax paper on the floor so it wouldn't stick. When it was dry I lifted it up and took the wax paper out. Then set the toilet.

I guess I could do the same thing this time to add 1/8 inch all around the toilet.

Shim the toilet like Rugged said and grout or caulk the gap....Personally I wouldn't use epoxy...

The law here doesn't require every house be up to code every time the code changes. 90% of houses in NYC are not up to code actually. The law just says if you are doing an alteration, change the CO of the building, or doing a major renovation, then you have to bring those areas of the renovation up to code.

All I did was remove the old tile off the walls and tile over the old sheetrock to clean it up a bit. On the floor I went right over the old tile. Not necessary for me to bring things up to code.

Besides, I already have had tons of violations on that building that I worked out little by little with some left. Believe me, that 4" deficiency on one side of the toilet is the least of my worries.
