The toilet is actually something of a light mocha color, which makes the previous owner's choice of salmon-pink the more ludicrous. We chose to change to a white toilet because we bought a white tub.Juice S.

I see in the picture it's white. Did you want maybe Eggshell? lol<BR/><BR/>I'm kind of a big guy and being a big guy I have an understanding of toilets. For example they make different sized ones. Most of my family have what I consider small toilets. If you had to sit on one of these and they happen to have a cushioned seat you can't do #1 and #2 at the same time. The hole in the seat just isn't big enough and your so low you can't maneuver very well.<BR/><BR/>However they do make taller and wider toilets most of which are geared towards handicapped individuals. I was never so happy with my home purchase then when I saw the size of the throne. It was Retrofitted with a nice big toilet and hand rails as one of the previous owners was wheelchair bound.<BR/><BR/>For me size issues would be a better reason to change out a toilet as opposed to color. Well unless it was something completely different like Red or black. Now that would be cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364127780301421481.post-37737900001713870962009-01-27T18:35:00.000-05:002009-01-27T18:35:00.000-05:00We could hear water dripping somewhere in or near ...We could hear water dripping somewhere in or near the toilet in the master bedroom bath. So Hubby set out to discover what it was. Yes, the toilet was leaking, leaking into the subflooring under the cheap vinyl on top, thereby reducing the cheap particleboard to mush. Who knows how long we had perched on top of the pipes with mush under us, waiting to fall into the basement and hubby's boat parked underneath?<BR/>Hubby pulled out the toilet, guts of the toilet, floor, and sink/vanity. Bought new guts for the toilet, scrubbed it within an inch of its life and returned it to the bathroom with new flooring underneath. Painted the walls and installed crown moulding, which really improved the looks of the bathroom. After much deliberation and saving up of money, we bought a pedestal sink and installed it. Bought a curving shower curtain to give more room in the teeny, tiny shower. Now all we need are things to hang towels on and we'll be good to go.<BR/>Our whole house was built by a criminally negligent homebuilder whose name is mud in our tiny town because everything he builds is sleazy, cheap and poorly made. We just didn't know anything about him before we bought the house.<BR/>I feel your pain in bathroom remodelling.Gardenbuzzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17074363515486485823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364127780301421481.post-27419508476397419802009-01-22T03:23:00.000-05:002009-01-22T03:23:00.000-05:00...once again showcasing the half-assedness of one...<I>...once again showcasing the half-assedness of one or more sets of the previous asshole owners of our home...</I><BR/><BR/>I can't tell you how many times we've used this expression, along with other words organic in nature, to describe the "upgrades" done to our home.<BR/><BR/>You two are brave soldiers.
