[Risk replacing toilet ourselves, or call in a plumber?]

I installed our new toilet last summer. It was very easy. When I was buying supplies at Lowe’s the employee said something about how I must have a plumber lined up to install it. I told him no I’ve watched a lot of you tube videos 😂😂. His look was priceless. 

True. As somebody above said it's technically easy but heavy.  You'll definitely need extra pair of hands.

My husband does it on his own and he is not handy at all. Well, he watches youtube videos now. When we were first together, he could not even put together a kit from Target for furniture. OK..he is questionable on IKEA stuff still. BUT, he can install a toilet with no problem.

Same here. I can't call my husband Jack-of-all-trades but he was able to change toilet reading article and sanitaryreview blog and fixed kitchen sink watching Youtube videos. Of course, he didn't make it for the first try and, of course, I was helping him. Anyway, if you're in hurry I would suggest hiring a plumber.

Sugar ants right now--onesy twosy so hard to see where they're coming from. An occasional crane fly gets in during the summer--the cat likes to hunt those down. And in August it seems we have a harder time keeping regular house flies out. The cat will hunt those two, but it's a much slower process!

Same here, ants are crawling everywhere at my place. Flies seem to be the less irritating problem compared to ants now. I came across this article and it helped me a lot. Might work for you as well.

I don't watch TV shows, only Youtube videos.
