DIY Small Bathroom Makeover | Toilet Area

What happens here

Before installing the accent wall, prepare the bathroom by marking the toilet's exact position on the wall using painter's tape to help with future panel alignment. Next, turn off the water supply to the toilet by turning the valve located behind it. Flush the toilet one last time to drain the tank. Be aware that the toilet is heavy and may still contain water in the bowl. Have a designated spot to place the toilet safely. Carefully unbolt the toilet from the floor and lift it, ensuring no water spills.

Goal: Tape around the toilet to mark its position, then turn off the water supply, flush, and carefully remove the toilet to prepare the wall for paneling.

all right so here's the kicker so the MDF is 3/4 inches deep I'm now gonna have any putting it on except for one part this reservoir the container for the water the issue is that for the most part all these toilets are thirty inches deep 30 30 even quarter and this is sitting against the wall and I think it's a design issue where the thing kind of leans against it to distribute the weight so you don't fall back and break the you know the plumbing at the place so I'm basically making an outline of where that reservoir will go the tank and then I'm gonna take the toilet out and install all of our patterns like we cut out and then we're gonna bring the toilet in and make sure we make all the flush cuts in the tight spot so they'll be interesting to say the least yeah yeah it'll be wine a few things to keep in mind yourself yourself up for success is number one turn up the water and give it one last flush number two be mindful that this thing is pretty heavy so have a designated spot that you'll be ready to set the toilet while you work and number three even with the water being drained from the reservoir there is still a few cups of water in the lower section of the toilet below the bowl so that when you shake the toilet as you're moving it it will spill some of it out from the bottoms before
