I'm a self-employed contractor and this was the biggest job I've done so far. I guess this still counts as DIY since I did it all by myself? (except for the electric)

The thought of stepping barefoot on a surface where a toilet may have overflowed is too much for me. More power to you of that's your preference though.

? But toilets can overflow even if you don't have a drain in your floor.

You wouldn't shower wearing sandals in your own bathroom would you?

The good thing about having a drain in the floor is that in the extremely rare event that your toilet overflows you can just hose down the entire room.
