I've been replacing the worn carpet around my leaking toilet (and the whole 16'x8' bathroom). First, I pulled the toilet, then pulled all of the carpet in 1 piece, removed all of the baseboard trim, and had to scrape/smooth out the floor. I unrolled the new carpet on the driveway (facing down), and placed the old carpet over it (face down) as a template, traced around the shape, and cut it with a utilty knife/industrial shears.

I bought new prepainted base board, and will cut the pieces to match what I carefully removed with the proper length and corner angles. I have a new seal, and guts for the toilet, and have touched up the wall paint where needed. I hope to have it finished on Wed when it is supposed to rain all day.

We built this bathroom from a large closet about 20 years ago, and it is holding up nicely, it just needs some updates (new shower fixture earlier this year, and new sink fixtures coming soon.
