I would have rather spent it on the Ducati...unfortunately I tripped over a dog leash yesterday and twisted my ankle. By this morning I was limping like Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects.

Since I'm dropping the Brave off to get the waste holding tanks plumbed on Thursday, I decided to pull the toilet to save a little time for the guys at Ideal RV. It's a good thing. The guys that the previous owner hired to put the floor in did not know how to remove the toilet. Consequently, they "worked around" it when they added a 3/8" plywood sub-floor and put down the faux wood floor.

Luckily the previous owner gave me some spare flooring. I had to destroy the old toilet flange since it was buggered by the hack job of the floor installers. I tore up most of the vinyl flooring in the bathroom so I could do a proper seamless job. I cut a piece of CDX (left over from the refer install) that fit pretty well into the odd shaped area that I needed to fill.

I glued and screwed the piece into place. I then cut the flooring sheets to fit and glued them into place.

It looks great. I'll re-cut the hole for the toilet flange right before I drop it off so that the glue can completely dry. Also I don't want to have a 5 inch hole in my floor for any extended period of time in case any critters are sneaking about the Stalag.

While it took me about twice as long as I thought it would, I am very happy with the results.
