I was supposed replace the toilet last Friday but after I had it removed, we decided to quickly paint the bathroom while the wall wasn't obstructed. As I'm taping off the baseboard, my fingers are grazing the drywall to smooth out the tape and they go right through... Complete mush. Rotted wood behind it. Yay! I was finally able to get a plumber out yesterday to fix the problem pipe. Drywall is completely cut away. Fan is airing it out so I can cut new wood tomorrow and get it all patched up. At this pace, I'll finally have the toilet replaced by Wednesday.

Oh man that sucks, but I'm glad you found the problem before it got even worse.

For me it was the sink.

My daughter puts all kinds of crap in there, from those little gel balls to dirt clumps. This time it was so gross I had to pull everything apart and clean it, instead of just cleaning the stopper.

Broke the toilet earlier that day? Must have been one hell of a visit to the loo.

No bought an awesome seat. Just replaced the old one.

I'm curious, what is so awesome about this toilet seat? I've recently replaced my wooden seat with a plastic, but now the flushes are almost as loud as a jet taking off.
