The floor is finished, with a couple of strategically placed pieces of
molding to cover a little extra nick in the vinyl.  My wife is happy with
it, so all is well.
An interesting thing.  This is an old house, and there was no flange for
hold down bolts for the toilet.
The old one was bolted directly to the floor.  It had four holes for bolts,
so that worked fine.
But we replaced the toilet with a water saver, and it had only the two bolt
hold downs.
The waste line had just a lead flange coming up through the floor, and we
were not sure we could get a good enough bite into the floor to hold the
toilet down well.
A very helpful man at Home Depot showed us a metal ring that we attached to
the floor with lag screws, and the hold down bolts for the toilet hooked
under that.
We did have to cut a little bit of this metal ring off so that the toilet
could set on the floor.
And no leaks.
That's the second time in four years I had to do that floor, and I hope it's
the last.
Blessings,
Tom
