Well at least you had it to spend on something very important and lets face it a toilet is very important.

L...I think you did the only thing that made sense. Last time I bought a toilet seat, I think it was under $15. Granted, it was the cheapest model Menards had at the time (plastic) but it has held up just fine for 15 years and is comfortable. It's these little (?) stumbling blocks that kinda throw us for a minute, but a couple of months from now, you won't ever think about it again.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-17573810309156567212011-01-13T16:35:23.061-05:002011-01-13T16:35:23.061-05:00No toilet seat?

Nah, I don't think so. Possibly ...Theresa, LOL. Nah, I don't think so. Possibly we could replace the one in the hall bath with it. Or I could try to sell it for a few bucks. Or there's always FreeCycle.<br /><br />Julie, so glad you're back online! Yes, failure to thrive is really quite common with llamas. Very sad to have happen to us though.<br /><br />Nina, I agree about a 2nd bathroom. This one will be especially important if we incorporate the hall bath into a master suite as planned. If we'd known about the toilet beforehand, we could have planned to put in a corner model. At this point it would have meant tearing out part of the tile work, so that wasn't possible. A corner toilet might have created a little more space.<br /><br />Bettina, yes it was annoying,but we decided just to make the best of it. Still not convinced about using any of it as a planter!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-74055630670857905492011-01-13T11:12:52.634-05:002011-01-13T11:12:52.634-05:00those small things can actually be quite costly - ...those small things can actually be quite costly - esp. annoying, when the old one was still perfectly usable. but on the positive side, the much smaller tank will save you a lot of water over time. might not be much initially, but normally toilets last quite a log time, so it'll make up for the price eventually.<br />btw - we didn't plant the toilet, but we did use the water basin against the house wall to house an ivy, that grows away nicely. nobody has realized so far that it isn't actually a planter:))Woolly Bitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961632742998726155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-51819079328928032352011-01-13T10:02:01.963-05:002011-01-13T10:02:01.963-05:00It's good you could find the toilet to fit.

Having a second bathroom is incredibly convenient even when it's only for a few people. I often marvel at how we managed with one bathroom and 4 kids!<br />Looks very nice..Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049476969325691637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-22101200369669918262011-01-13T09:02:17.406-05:002011-01-13T09:02:17.406-05:00I glad you found a good one!

So, will that old toilet be the quintessential<br />flower planter out in the back yard? ;)Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.com
