 Sunday project done. 

Why are toilets so expensive. And what's up with these smart toilets that are like 5k. What is it tracking my shits? Is it gonna tell my smart cabinet to put miralax in my drank so I stay regular.

 Thanks. 
Feels good to do most the work yourself, with the help of my carpenter father. 
Lots of learning while redoing this bathroom.

 Vanity and sink installed. Along with cabinet. 

So close to being done. Just a toilet and some odds and ends.

 Will you set the toilet with wax or silicon gasket?

 Plumber connect says go with wax ring. Tried and true. Previous toilet had a wax ring too.

Had to use a flange extension kit to bring the flange up near new floor level.

 Just curious... I've been using silicon gaskets and they are WAY easier to work with and.... so far so good!

 Good to know they are both suitable!

 I'm sure the gaskets are a lot less sticky.  I know it's just wax but it feels so awkward in your hand.

 Yeah... the foam risers seem flimsy and the silicon ring is like a cooking utility. They work tho. AND you don't have to nail it on the first try.  

Old vs. New(er) 

Construction material is changing...getting  cheaper.
