How to Make Your Small Bathroom Bigger
What happens here
The old, extremely unsanitary toilet is removed. The worker initially tries to unscrew the toilet from the floor, but the nuts are heavily rusted and effectively 'welded' on. He then uses a pry bar to break the seal and separate the toilet bowl from the floor, first removing the tank. After the toilet is freed, the bowl is smashed with a hammer to break it into manageable pieces for disposal. It's crucial to wear appropriate PPE, including a respirator, gloves, and eye protection, especially during messy demolition tasks. Before starting this step, ensure the water supply to the toilet is shut off and the tank/bowl are emptied.
Goal: Safely remove the old, unsanitary toilet from the bathroom.
