Do not seal @ the bottom of the toilet bowl!!! The toilet bowl needs to breath (common mistake). Also if you have a leak, you will not know if it is leaking due to the sealant.

Glad to see him recommend putting the wax  on the flange first rather than on the toilet. like all the included instructions say.

Another good tip I got from a plumber was to use plumbers' putty underneath the tank bolts. This helps to eliminate all those initial pesky leaks when you first fill the tank. It saves the trouble of constantly tightening the nut and hoping you don't crack the tank.

I am going full steam ahead as soon as possable. I have a ship themed bathroom with a life preserver mirror, handmade (Wife) Jolly roger shower curtain, helm's stearing wheel on back of door, ect... Just need to wood plank the floor out & paint the walls a darker blue than my wife frigged up.

All the employees that comment posatively on this video got an extra 5 minute break or free lunch. I swear that this video was uploaded 2x because I watched it yesterday with a different discription. It said what the vested guy says about the job not being messy.

Also, skip the step that involves cramming an old rag N the crap hole by having everything new ready to install. the rag'll probably fall N any way.
