Hi again. The leaking toilet is from the late 50's by Richmond. The two closet bolts that are missing are located at the rear of the toilet. Are there replacement bolts for a toilet this old? The other two bolts look original. I cannot understand why that plumber I hired six months ago didn't replace the missing bolts and didn't fix the movement in the toilet. Shouldn't he have addressed these issues when he was here, since I told him about them? When a plumber comes to fix the currently leaking wax seal, what if he finds that the wood structure underneath is wet or rotted? There could have been a small leak that I didn't know about. Is it the plumber's job to replace rotted wood, or does that require hiring a builder/carpenter? If the wood is only damp, then can the plumber go ahead and replace the wax seal and set the toilet that same day without waiting for the wood to dry? If there is damage/rot to the wood, how long does a repair like this usually take to fix? I only have one toilet in this house. Thank you for any help.

I wouldn't do anything to it until spring, not sure what type turf grass you have, but, it looks like it was quite thick before it went dormant. At least I think it's dormant. In Michigan our Kentucky bluegrass lawns look the same way in July and early August. September I HAVE no mow twice a week. What do your neighbors lawns look like?

Nothing on the hind end but tearout and redo. All the work was on the front end in product and labor selection. Better hope he knows how to properly waterproof a shower. Most of the budget hacks are clueless. https://www.ceramictilefoundation.org/homeowners-guide-to-hiring-qualified-tile-installer Hire better next time, or this time, if this doesn’t have to be torn out and done over.

I’ve had that happen, just cut the brown parts off & put the plant outside for a while, out of direct sun. It will probably grow new shoots off the cut stems, mine did.
