    Moving a toilet over an inch above an already finished floor
    I am replacing a toilet in my mother in laws house. Her original sewage pipe is cast iron set in a concrete foundtion. I have to move the toilet about 1and a half inches and I need to know how to do this. I was told that there was a way but I need to know how to do it.
