It's happening more frequently - I'm not terribly knowledgeable about plumbing, how can I fix this without a huge plumber bill?

If only I lived closer Terry, I would have bought from you in the first place!

I've thought about putting a different toilet in, but I needed an elongated ADA height, which is why I chose the Cimarron. It was only $200, if I had gone with a Toto it would have cost more, plus now there is a wait up to 4 weeks for them. I don't know what I would do with this one, I bought it...

Thanks - this job would be fixed by the plumber who installed it wrong the first time, we wouldn't be doing it ourselves. But I don't have much confidence in his work. If the offset collar couldn't be used, what would the next best fix be?

The latest mistake the plumber made on out addition is the master bath toilet. For some reason he roughed it in at 14" instead of the standard 12". I had already purchased a 12" Cimarron for that bathroom and that's what he installed earlier this week. It was a few days ago and I can't believe...

I'm in Michigan, and am wondering if a plumbing access panel is required by code in a shower - general code I guess, I know nobody would know about my local codes.

Kohler also makes a slow closing easy-off seat, called Cache.

My Ultramax arrived today - I never thought I'd be so excited about having a toilet delivered, what has my life become? Won't be installed for a week or two though. I compared the Toto seat with the Bemis seat on our 20 yr old round front, the holes are the same size from what I can tell.

Oh no, my Ultramax is being delivered tomorrow. I'm tight on space in that bath too so I too chose the round. Oh well, at least none of us are to big in the behind.

Just dig it up, you'll know soon enough. I wouldn't spend the big $$ on an engineer, he'd just say to dig it up anyway.

A few months ago we had a leak on our supply side. It was under our NEW garage, luckily the floor had not been poured yet. It was discovered when a sinkhole developed in the dirt inside the new garage. After the sinkhole started but before the leak was fixed we could hear an increasingly loud...

Ok, I've been looking some more, and sure enough, they are either owned or made anywhere. I actually got to see the Cimarron, Drake and a pressure assist model (don't remember the brand) flush. No question, the gravity ones are for us, the pressure assist is just too loud. What about the Eljer...

I'm picking out toilets for our house addition. I know about the high regards for the Totos, but my husband REALLY would like toilets from an American company (not just made in US). His only other requirement is for an easy to repair/easy to find parts toilet. After living with 1 poor flusher in...
