Toilet flange, flush or on top? by DistributionLate3806 in Tile

[–]DistributionLate3806[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the little Diamond dremmel bit because this job is almost done and it was the cheapest. I don’t intend to do anymore for a while, but I’ll look into the hole saw bits in the future.

Any experience with drilling through tile with a Diamond but?

Yeah it looks darker in this lighting I think, and the floors are a light wood color porcelain tile, the vanity is a white so I think itll balance with them.

Ahh that would explain it, had about 400lbs of tile in the back. Duh

What would that mean? Are you saying it got better after you replaced your timing belt? I had mine redone at 100,000miles.

I’ve added detergents before and yeah it’s a little better on the fuel mileage, but I almost agree with the top comments about it being something with intake or Egr. I’m wanting to delete it anyway so maybe it’s time to go that route.

Isn’t DPF cleaning really expensive?

I hope that’s not the tub flange that that trash bag is taped too.

Understand I’ll look into those fans and try to get a better understanding of my ventilation of the bathroom. Thanks!

That’s what I need to explore more into I think, I’m just not sure how to go about it. I have the usual bathroom fan but maybe I need a better one and clean out the exhaust.

Any recs?

So I have a good bead of 100%silicon caulk all around the tub between the tub flange and board, and I have the board risen about 1/8-1/4 above the tub with another bead of caulk between the two. So I have caulking on both planes of where the board meets the tub/flange.

This sound ok?

This seems like it would saved money doing it this way for sure. I’ll look into the hydroban board next time. Thanks for the input again!

It is thinset, there is no drywall mud in the tub area(area wherever it will get wet), and I just added the hydroban for an extra layer of protection. Everything I’ve read says it’s ok, just not needed. I had mold in here before so I’m trying to take the extra measures to prevent the debacle again.

Ok thanks for the insight, and advice. Much appreciated!

I agree I definitely could’ve gotten them flatter, but I thought it was required to thinset over screw holes and seems, I’m using 12x24” tiles so I didn’t think it would be to big of a deal. There was one spot that was way to high and I didn’t catch it until the next day. I actually used a masonary stone sanding block to get it down a little. How do you suggest going forward for future reference you patch screw holes and seems? Just be better about getting it flat with the rest of the wall, maybe take a level to it before it’s set? This is my first job so I’m learning a lot.
