First, a little housekeeping - I apologize for not being very active on the blog this month. There are some really cool things happening with my family (that I’m not really at liberty to divulge at the moment for fear of spousal backlash) that’s kept me away from the computer and not very active in things that I enjoy doing on a semi-regular basis.  I’m also wrapping up a second degree program and have been bogged down writing papers and doing a massive research project.

Excuses are a-plenty, but I do apologize.

One project that my wife and I recently embarked on that had “oh, yeah - this is totally blogable” written all over it was our upstairs bathroom toilet replacement.  The previous owners of the house had installed a somewhat horrible, small, round bowl-shaped toilet that used an awful lot of water per flush and just wasn’t very good looking.  We got the gumption when walking through our local hardware store to check out toilets and made an impulse buy.  Like it or not, we were installing a new toilet.

This series will walk you through how to remove your old toilet and install a new one.  Believe it or not, it’s not that difficult.  In fact, the hardest part is lugging the stupidly-heavy toilet from the store to your house.
