We're going to attempt this next week. Any tips?
The toilet itself is child-height as it has been slated in with 2 inch thick raw slate and then we tiled over that. We're planning on borrowing some electricity from the neighbours (ours has been disconnected for some time now) and angle-grinding it off at ground level and extending the drainpipe with a sleeve. A sledgehammer and a bolster would probably be just as effective at removing the old pan though if the neighbour is too stoned to notice someone at his door. All the plumbing externally is above ground (go figure) so very easy to access, but it does pass through a 50ish cm thick stone wall.
We have a bloke in the know coming to help so it should be ok but scarey toilet stories would be appreciated
We're putting a vanity in while we're there too. Had it sitting in a box for the new owner to use but if noone is going to buy the place, what the hey, might as well install it ... lack of electricity won't help with testing if the joins are tight though, don't think we can get around that one, unless I chain a stack of extension cords together or something, but that doesn't sound like a good idea.
