    You are lucky that grout was slow drying, you should never cover everything and then start the sponging. It could have hardened and would have been like concrete which it actually is. You would have had to tear it up. I'm glad for you.

    Funny story, my husband's never tackled tiling and grouting. I told him to get on CZcams and watch the professionals. Oh no! I know what I'm doing. He says. Okay I let him go at it. He did that night with the door shut. Wouldn't let me look at it until he was done. We have two bathrooms anyway. The next day came he went to work and I want to take a look at it to see how far he had gotten. He tiled the shower and grouted it. However, he didn't pay attention to the videos nor did he watch any because he never wiped it after the 30 minutes. So now I have a tiled floor that has grout on it that is as hard as cement. I spent 30 minutes with a chisel to get the grout off this pebbles. I've only got a small square done in the shower. This is going to take a few days to get the rest of this grout off. I can't wait for him to get home so I can tell him that I was right and he needed to pay attention to the videos. Lesson to be learned. If you don't know what you doing, watch a video or get a professional. I'm so frustrated with him right now. I could scream

    I am in a rental in australia and we are not supposed to drill into any walls. I tried the sticky Velcro strips (four sets on either side) and the picture fell off the wall and the frame smashed it was less than 10kg but it’s humid here ($160 to replace just the frame)…so don’t want to do that again. Are there any options that fall somewhere between the damage the drilling does to the wall and the sticky Velcro strips? Thanks C

    Very well done and inspirational. It was nice to find a CZcams video that did not make toilet removal look like a piece of cake. I just had all the same issues that you had plus installing a Evekare raised height back to the wall toilet in my 1982 build Dalfield home in WA. The plus was the original plumber/tiler obviously damaged the base of the toilet before installation and hid it by burying the base about 2 inches below the tile level and then concreting it in and around it. I needed both the angle grinder with the diamond blade plus the demolition hammer to chip away at the concrete below the floor level before I could remove it. The concrete was above the screw heads that held it to the floor so they were corroded to the point that even an impact driver wouldn't bite on their heads and I had to drill them out. It also explained why the toilet seems so very low to the floor and was so difficult to get up from. Then I had to build up the floor with concrete and floor leveller and retile that area before installing the new loo. They also did the same thing as with yours on the floor outlet. I did buy some Oatly Liquilock Toilet Removal Water Solidifier Absorbing Crystals on ebay to minimise water spills (it worked well) and a Pick Up Stix Toilet Installation and Removal Tool on Amazon to aid with picking up the very heavy Evekare unit (this also worked well) noting I am a 70 year old with psoriatic arthritis in my back and hips and I had two toilet to do; one down one to go. At least the other one sit higher with the screw head visible and clean so hopefully it isn't concreted in below the floor level and will be a little easier to remove.
