Post No. 5 says to disconnect the supply line to the toilet. Personally, I don't trust a handyman to work on a plumbing fixture. I want it done by a licensed plumber. That is why they have a license.

If you can connect your outdoor hose to the spigot then you can connect the supply line to your toilet. Sure, if you've never looked at it then it might seem difficult, but it really isn't. I want a plumber to replace a valve or solder a connection - I don't need a plumber to turn a wingnut.

I can connect a supply line to a toilet. I have done it many times. No problem. But if I am hiring a professional to do it, I will hire a licensed plumber, not a handyman.

Make sure your plumper is insured and offers some kind of guarantee on how long the new wax ring will last. Also, make sure that the wax is from a sustainable source. We need to protect our honey bees. Ear wax rings are a new environmentally secure and sustainable source for these rings. The normal contract price is dependent on if the wax is locally produced. There are two very important plumbing rules that are code in Marion, Sumter, and Lake Counties:
1. Payday is Friday, 2. Don't lick your fingers

Thanks for the recommendation. Had Chris from Blueline Plumbing replace the WAX seal under the toilet. Timely and a fair price. Took about one hour. Removed old grout that was at toilet base and regrouted.

Also fixed a tank to toilet seal leak.
