''You're not a plumber, don't take plumbing apart.''
Another added: ''Removing that flange could cause leak if you don't replace it with plumbers putty.''
''But why use a butter knife that goes in your mouth when you can use a screwdriver,'' said a third critical viewer didn't seem to be impressed.
