I am having some water pressure problems that will probably involve some repiping. I'm just not sure how deeply I need to go.

There is a leak in my upstairs bathroom, but I am not sure if it is coming from the toilet or the sink. The leak has caused damage to the ceiling above my kitchen (downstairs).

Plumbing Installation
While most plumbing installation jobs are best left to professionals, there are a few simple tasks that you can undertake, provided you have high DIY skills, like installing a toilet. Make sure that you use pipes that are the right size, and take care to align the tubing into valves and fittings properly. First, use a putty knife to remove the old wax gasket. Set the floor flange in such a way that its underside is on level with the finished floor. Tighten the screws that connect the flange to the floor, and set in plumber's putty. Insert them through the flange, aligning them properly with the center of the drain pipe. Place the new wax gasket on the toilet horn located at the bottom of the toilet bowl, and use plumber's putty to seal. Now, lower the bowl into place using the bolts to guide the exact position over the flange. Press firmly, and give a little twist, so you feel the bowl being pressed into the wax ring. Level the bowl, and make sure it is aligned with the valve. Tighten washers and nuts by hand. Fit the rubber gasket on the opening of the flush valve at the bottom of the tank. Place the tank over the bowl, and tighten the washers and nuts. Seal the base with plumber's putty.
