Yes, it is a pain. Never start these things late in the day! You need plenty of time to go to the hardware store six times before you are through!

I also hate plumbing problems....don't we all.Somene mentioned the high rise toilet.There's only about 3-4" diff & what a difference it is.DH went with that when we needed a new toilet.
The older you get, the more you appreciate it. Our DD liked it so well, they installed same one & they're a "few" yrs younger.:-)

ME TOO! Plumbing isn't DH's thing so when toilet in our ground floor bathroom was leaking we called a plumber. Almost $500 later we had a new toilet installed within an hour of the plumber's arrival and with no swearing and throwing of tools. I was very willing to pay the fee because when I get the urge to go I have to go NOW and with my arthritic knee rushing to the upstairs bathroom took a lot of time - had a few near misses but did OK.

I always multiply the time by 2 and the cost by 3. I usually get close, but who would have guessed a kitchen renovation would never be completed in nearly 15 years.
