Greetings, all! I need to replace a toilet tank lid but I don't have the old one so I don't have a part number. I've posted some pics of the only part numbers or brands listed on the rest of the toilet, but I still cannot identify the model number or find the part number for the replacement...

I have a small pantry and a small bathroom separated by only a wall. I'd like to convert the pantry into a kitchenette and I thought I could easily get water for a kitchen sink (that's really all I need) in there by running pipes from the water source in the bathroom on the other side of the...
