terlit (redux)

See that blue pipe? It's one million degrees when the radiator heat goes on. Which is every five minutes.


See the toilet? It's about 2.5 inches away from the Burning Pipe.


So...


I'm shopping for another toilet.


And that's all I'm gonna say about that.







...except one more thing:


In order to install a round-front toilet for a 12-inch rough out that does not extend more than 25 inches from the wall, I had to do have this done to the new tile to plumb for a tank-and-bowl do-hicky. Bye bye flushometer!


Nice vanity, though, right?

the terlit story


I ordered a toilet. It came. Cracked.

They took it back.

I ordered a replacement. From a sketchy place in Midtown.

I spoke in code. Per instructions.

The toilet came. Cracked.

They took it back.

I ordered another toilet.

It came.

Not cracked.

But the wrong color.

I'm keeping it.


And that's the story of the toilet.
