The toilet is out.
We think there are two problems:
– The nipple in the wall is presumably leaking. I need to remove that nipple, make the hole big enough for a camera, then try and seal the fucking thing. Past, Current and Future Kate all hate this.
– With the toilet, we can’t see any defect so its possible it’s just water migrating through the toilet-seat-attachment holes and around the little blanking plate cover for the bolts, then finding its way from there through the bolts that attach it to the waste pipe ring, and *then* out (since it can’t get past the wax ring to go out to the waste pipe) through the little gap we left for water to get out. When we’ve dealt with the wall problem we’ll put the toilet in place but not apply any sealant, then we’ll *not use the shower* for a week or two, but use the toilet, and if it doesn’t leak then we’ll go back to assumption A – that it’s water from the shower. If it slowly starts weeping water again then it’s new toilet time.
Exciting, I know.
