Putting Riser Under Toilet

[jimmcpheters]

In our 2008 Dip 40 PDQ, there is a wooden channel next to the toilet that I need to remove a piece of in order to have room for the riser, i.e. available floor space is too narrow. Does anyone know what is behind there, wiring, tubes, hoses.?  I only need about an inch or so of additional space to have the riser fit just fine. I am planning to use a hole saw to remove a section of the wooden channel. I know the water supply line behind the toilet comes through the wooden channel at the back of the toilet.

Probably plumbing. Sink drain?

I have the 07 and my piece just lifts out. Did it years ago never fastened it or just stays in place. Similar to the risers next to the shower.  Hope that helps a little

Thanks for the replies, both helped.

In my 05 Knight the wooden piece is secured by screws, under oak buttons.  I pry the buttons out and remove the screws, then the wood lifts off.

As it turned out, there was almost nothing inside the wood channel. Water lines from sinks were inside it for a few inches, right next to the outside wall, but they went down to the grey water tank almost immediately.  I injured nothing cutting out a section nearer the toilet to get the riser to fit.  Of course after I reinstalled everything,  the water valve at the rear of the toilet started leaking so I removed the toilet again,  installed a new valve,  reinstalled toilet and all is well.
