easy to move a toilet?

[ColJack]

once my kitchen is done, the bathroom is next on my list..

the problem i have with it ( besides an uneven concrete floor causing a sloped toilet... very weird to sit on.. ), is that the toilet it too close to the side wall for me..

I'm a big lad and like a bit of room so i can stretch my legs... so to speak..

the pipe looks like onf of those big ceramic things but i would like to either move the toilet about 8 inches further to the left or fit a corner unit..
I've looked at those offset coupler things but they only give about 2 inches..
what i need to do is re-pipe the toilet pipe from the outside and patch the hole...

is it easy to do with the ceramic type pipes, or am i best off taking it back to the ground and doing it all in plastic?

i'm all for converting to plastic, as it is a lot easier to work with.

you can buy fittings that will effortlessly couple onto clay salt glaze, clay supersleeve, cast iron, asbestos cement, pitch fibre etc.

it's up to you how far down the line you wish to make the conversion, though i would suggest just below ground where the stack meets the clay. this is usually a 90 deg bend.

at home i dug up all my drains and converted to plastic, inspection chambers the lot. this was an essential pre-curser for a later extension project.

since i live on the first floor then expansion is not an option for me..

unless i can talk her downstairs into extending as well and spliting the cost of the extra deep foundations to take a 2 storey extension...
my only worry is that i will have to fork out for the roof part.....
