JMU Alum asked:

I’m replacing my floor in my bathrooms. It is the cheap stuff, currently linoleum (?). I don’t know what it is, but the ceramic tile is thicker and I’m wonder if there are any good resources out there that explain what to do in this case. I’m replacing my linoleum tile with ceramic tile. Thanks.

    An extended rubber flange embedded also remove the current flooring tile and the toilet drain situation.
    The toilet drain situation can be dealt with with new wax ring with an extended rubber flange embedded also remove the toilet drain situation.
