New member, first question :thumbup:
I'm redoing a toilet mistake in my basement. The first time my toilet flange was too high and the toilet rocked. No problem, right? Shim it and caulk it. Wrong. Learn and live I guess. The wax ring compressed and started leaking. :furious:
Now I want to do it right, but don't want to cut the 4" stubbed out pipe too short because it's encased in concrete. So I've got one shot at this.
1) Do I tile right up to the 4" pipe, grout, insert flange and fasten through finished floor
2) Do I cut pipe off flush with basement subfloor, install flange, and tile up to it then
Note: sub floor is concrete, flange is a slip inside type (no gluing), and the flange thickness is exactly 7/16".
See attached picture if it helps
Thanks
