Best simple description on how to install toilet that I’ve come across.so far.

Fantastic! I followed and today I installed my toilet, with no human help. Just me and myself.

I wish I would have become a plumber. I went to college instead and what a waste of money and no passion for my job now at 54. I still love plumbing projects, although I haven't done it for 30 years and listened to all the complaints that I'm sure goes along with it, like all jobs. Love your videos.

This tutorial is amazing. I am reasonably handy but this is my very, very first time to tackle a project of this size. You offer amazing details and pointers on where things might go wrong. The video is exceptional. Was not planning on doing this project over Christmas, but my dad has the flu and my husband's arm is broken, so it's me :) Thank you thank you thank you thank you

I'm jealous of how perfect your rough in and supply are. Your house must be very new. I think most people have to deal with replacing toilets on older homes and it doesn't go so smoothly. Another great video, thank you!

Thank you very much for a clear and very informative video on how to. I feel confident that I now will be able to install my toilet bowl successfully following your step-by-step video. Keep making more as you are good at explaining things in layman's terms.

I think you have done a great job. Easy to understand. An improvement: the nut on top of the bolt that holds the toilet to the floor. That was the only problem I had when I installed my toilet, the screws wiggled around & I never did get the screw on the left lined up properly, now here I am trying again. I am sure tightening the nut to make the screw stable is going to make the difference. Thank you so much! Judie

Great video! Here are some things to consider. I do caulk because my Florida house is built on a concrete slab, no wood under toilet to rot if there is a leak. If house is wood frame be sure to not caulk the back of toilet. I never used silicone because once it’s there it’s almost impossible to completely remove, especially on a porous wood floor. If the next toilet has a different footprint, well good luck. I use Dap Kwik Seal Plus clear. It is water clean up and completely waterproof. If gap is very uneven or toilet was shimmed then I would use white or biscuit to match toilet color. A bigger concern than overflow toilet water getting under toilet is it getting under the walls around toilet. Always caulk where the baseboard meets the floor and up the corner gaps a couple inches. White acrylic latex with silicone works great. My neighbor had a slow leak in the water line to the refrigerator ice maker and it went under the wall and cabinets causing $40,000 damage.
