If you need height you just use a thicker wax ring. Hey Frank,

I have chipped out all of the old tile but there is still some mortar left on the floor. I was going to use a self leveler to make the floor fresh again. Question is: Is there a standard height that the toilet flange is suppose to be off the floor (before tile)? I’m a first time bathroom remodler.

My son was the youngest marine in his group at boot camp.  17.  He is now a SS and is stationed in Virginia with all the working spies...The kind of job where he says "mom I can't answer that..."  I ask but he just smiles and shakes his head no.  His father was a Master Chief in the Navy - they have very animated conversations...   The photos of the bad, bad, really bad tile work are amazing and very educational for me. I now know some of the correct terminology and understand better the mess in my own house. I can see things in my house that look exactly like some of the photos.  Especially concerning the cracked grout, cut work around door jambs, not enough coverage. One in particular #37 looks like you took the photo in my home – I need to read about substrate.  Thanks.
