“maybe i can get a better job if i put my foot through the ceiling”. im dead - i hope Erik watches this lol!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Finally someone caught that!! lol.

[@duncthemonc9951]

Canadian plumber here, looks like you did a pretty good job Jason. Only thing about the sealant around the toilet is to leave a gap at the back so you can know if your wax seal starts to leak before it fills your floor/ceiling full of water.

[@Crustycheese94]

I've always just opted to not put a sealant around the toilet but ill consider this method. Don't see why it still wouldn't work

[@Iamthathillbilly]

​@Crustycheese94 it has its purpose, I once did a bathroom for a European couple, they wanted the whole thing minus the ceiling tiled so it could be a wet room, the shower had no walls. I siliconed that toilet down. I've also used it when the toilet doesn't want to stay put to hold it in place

[@dawnc1419]

What a great tip 😊

[@StudPack]

Moving a toilet is always filled with the unexpected!! Nice job Jay and good luck with the vanity💪👊

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks! See ya in a few weeks?

[@praetoriian1625]

The King of the Perkins Crew!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Can you make sure you tell the other guys that! Lol

[@WebsterandSonsPlumbing]

Owner of a plumbing company in pilot mtn NC. You did just fine Jay!

[@dawnc1419]

Hey Jay 👋👋 from the UK.. what is a manufactured home? A great idea for a video Jay would be if you did a Q & A with your worldwide subscribers. We could all send you some questions for you, Stepf, Nana and Bob. With cameo's from Charlie and friends ❤

[@billaldridge7825]

Proud of Jay, I knew you could do it.

[@calebwren8179]

Doing something you’re uncomfortable with and filming it! Great job!

[@terencemerritt]

Erik and Jaime don’t know what they have in you Jason. Good work big guy!

[@mikecliff2367]

You are a warrior. Moving Plumbing and working with Plumbing is a major project.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks. Mike.

[@mw7145]

What you want is an American Standard Champion series toilet. They have a larger flush valve and better flow design. They can flush golf balls, flip phones, etc. so clogs are pretty much non existent and the price is great. Barely more than what you bought. Next comparable performing toilet is a Toto and costs 2x-3x. Always elongated chair height if it will fit.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks for the info!

[@johnchipman5208]

You the man Jay, great job as always.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I appreciate that!

[@Quietstorm3333]

Maybe a 48-52 in double vanity or custom furniture with smaller sinks but still got er done👍

[@benj180]

Nice work Jay!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@rickwhitescarver8526]

Good job on the toilet and handling the plumbing in the floor. When you do the vanity I’d rather see ya open the drywall that will be behind the vanity and make plumbing changes in the wall. Esp if the vanity is not wide open side to side. Maybe even move the toilet supply line over too?

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yes, definitely stay tuned!

[@rerolley]

I was wondering about the toilet supply, it looked like it needs to move as well. I will stay tuned for the next episode.

[@joewinningham7997]

Good job Jason.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks.

[@CharlesBundy-z9n]

Sweet! Ive replaced lots of toilets but never moved one. Good topic!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks for watching!

[@myrnarichardsonwilson9445]

Great Job, Jay

[@markb.1259]

Nice job Jay! Hopefully the extra turn in the discharge pipe doesn't slow the flow down too much causing persistent clogs.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I hope so too

[@ozarkdaredevils]

You need to move the water for the water closet over ......... 6 in. off center to the left. Always nice to see the lovely Stephanie !

[@ericreese4606]

I was just thinking… who’s gonna tell him he also needs to move the supply line over as well. Eyeballing his marks, looks like the new vanity will run right into where it is now. :-(

[@GiovannyB-p7u]

That's what I kept waiting for through the whole video, but I guess that maybe part of the sink video otherwise it would be a looong supply line.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Y’all need to watch the next video!

[@billincolumbia]

Nice work, sir.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thank you kindly

[@jerrid86]

Jay your a great dad. My siblings and I shared 1 bathroom with my parents for several years. I appreciate your light hearted approach with the content.

[@Iamthathillbilly]

When I was a kid I had 3 siblings close in age, along with my parents, we shared one bathroom until I was about 13

[@gimatobar4791]

Good work Jay. Can’t wait to see it finished.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

You and me both!

[@johnathonmcgee1123]

[@joeshmoe8912]

Good job, my friend. A little freshen up on the bathroom always is good. Thanks for sharing.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

You bet

[@carabs3823]

Hey Jay! Always enjoyed you on the Perkins channel. Glad to follow you here. I will say your 'I need to install the toilet now' tease was torturous. Just sneak peak? No flush!? Lol... can't wait for whatever is next.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yeah sorry. I just showed installing a toilet when I did the floors so I didn’t want to repeat same thing again. Sorry

[@carabs3823]

@@Building_Jays_Way nooooo don't be sorry... It was a great cliffhanger. Thanks for putting this channel together. It will definitely be on my weekly rotation of channels to watch.

[@mikehall4517]

Say hey, Jay! Uh-oh, looks like the kids are going to have to get you a special gift for father's day. I really like the way Steph has so much confidence in your ability to handle ALL the projects around the house. You're really exploring your diy abilities too.

[@susanward4966]

Love it! You never know you can do something until you do it! Thanks Jason! Keep it up please❤

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Absolutely!!

[@thepagan5432]

Being a mechanical engineer I have developed my home diy skills to the point where planning negates problems. I still find some things puzzling but I've got by. You'll be fine Jay, regards to the family 👍

Love it Jason…🔨⚒️🍺🎉🫵🏻

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks Colin!

[@Bokooda]

Glad you checked the final height including the finish. When I refurb'd my bathroom I had to include the thickness of: floorboards - concrete backerboard - cement for underfoor heating - heating wire - tile cement and finally tiles, all while smelling the odor of a 100 years worth of p*ss and sh*t through the pipe work.... Most UK toilet waste systems go through the wall and you can gain abit of wiggle room using a 'flexy-pipe'.

[@karlmckinney8469]

One of your best videos yet my friend

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Awesome to hear! Thanks

[@c.a.g.1977]

Awesome job Jason! Great to see you try and tackle a project you are not used to. looking forward to the next video!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

More to come!

[@seekersofrhythm]

Hi Jay, it's always a great day when post a video. I have been following your KZbin channel from the start and you are getting better and better at recording. I am so looking forward to the next installment in the kids bathroom. Bathrooms can be a nightmare if you are relocating the units especially the toilet but you made it look easy. I see you on the next one. Stay safe J.

nice work daddy-o!

What a cobble job!! Lol ❤ it.

[@jonah9623]

Nice work, Jay! I can't believe you picked a toilet height, shape, color, brand, flush pattern, trim-level, transmission type that quickly...I'm assuming you'll do the toilet bonfire when you finish up that bathroom project completely?

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I think I could make that happen!

[@stratman1188]

Love that quote from the pastor. That same "what I don't know, I can learn" attitude has saved me a lot of money over the years. Also wanted to tell you again how awesome it was to get to meet you last week. Stella hasn't stopped talking about it! I am looking forward to watching this video with her tonight!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

It was super nice to meet y’all as well! Thank you so much for watching.

[@cullenhallbelmont]

nice...will be cool to see the final thing

[@verygoodboy2688]

I think you did a real good job. Plumbing is scary but it looks good from my house. And frankly, the work you did to support the subfloor is probably better than what most plumbers do lol

[@jailbreak852]

Plumbing is always a pain after construction

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yeah, I feel confident that the floor will be 100% good

[@mikeisley4445]

Just a tip put something over the toilet flange to keep the sewer gas out of your house buddy 💯

A Fantastic episode Jay as all ways

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks craig

[@Kristina_Australia]

That was easier than I expected - yes I know all I had to do was watch, but what I mean is I thought you would have to run a new pipe in for the sewer line, didn't think about putting it on an angle. Well done and thanks for that info 👍

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Glad it helped

[@mikesayed25]

Dont forget when doing pvc glue then give the pipe a little twist back and forth to seal good

My mistake that is not a bigl deal, the flange is supposed to be flush with floor height. Just make sure you have a good seal whatever the height.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I was under the impression that the flange should sit just above the floor height?

[@michaelmiller1109]

@@Building_Jays_Way That was my thought as well, but when I set my toilet I had to shim it up because the flange was too high. I used one of those silicon/rubber rings instead of a wax ring because I knew I wasn’t going to get a perfectly level surface that I feared would create an issue in making a wax ring set correctly.

My boss here in Indiana was able to reduce his property tax assessment by showing the assessor that his double vanity was connected to one drain and one set of feeds. As such it only counted as one sink for tax purposes instead of two. Not sure how it works where you are.
