I'll second the fluidmaster donut. I replaced my toilet last year and went with one, it was definitely the right choice.

They just wanted to take pee-k at my resume.

Gotta do between o and q. Going to pool without the L.
The fun we have. I'll third the non-wax ring gasket. Way easier to work with, and future plumbers will thank you for not having to scrape that nasty wax. Comfort height... suggest you sit on a few toilets to see if you like it. Most prefer it, but I feel like I am sitting on a throne, no pun intended. Also, I am most definitely a fan of the elongated bowl, which I believe you are getting.

When I first read it, I read ruminate as urinate.

That would be nice, but I'll be doing the tiling myself so, as nice as it would probably be, I doubt I'll heat the floors.

Look into it - it isn't hard (we've done it
) you can buy sheets and then just morter over them. The wiring (220 typically) is the hardest part.

No idea - we have that and a hot tub and are just happy.
It is on a timer though.

Thanks for the info. Current floor is tiled and not having heated floors hasn't been an issue, so it's probably not something I'm inclined to do.No idea - we have that and a hot tub and are just happy.

We went to the taller models several years ago, felt strange at first, but now the standard height feels strange. I think the taller models have become the new standard. We did a major bathroom remodel 3 years ago. Have done similar before, but this time we took the blank slate approach and moved all the fixtures around.
The master bath is a room addition made to the original house, with only a crawl space about 3.5 feet underneath. Never really had any back issues until I did that job. If you have to run new feed pipes pex is super easy to work with. The supply lines were much easier and quicker than the drains and vents. The vents were actually the biggest PITA because I was trying not to have too much drywall work. Should have just stripped it all back to the studs, would have been quicker and easier in the long run.

If we lived in colder climes it might be something we'd consider, but here in NM we've not been too bothered by cold floors. If we were still in Montana, then it would definitely be something to consider. @JPSmit considering where you live I can understand why you are glad to have heated floors LOL.

JP, big difference between NM and Toronto on heated floor needs. Similar to as why you wouldn't install Swamp coolers and he doesLook into it - it isn't hard (we've done it

Not wrong, sir! When we put the extension on the hovel's outside garage wall for a laundry room, the drainage for the washer was an issue: Concrete block between. There was a capped clean-out fitting on what was the outside wall, so tied into that. Took all supply for water and electric overhead from the garage side, no problem.
During summer months we get tons of email spam, outfits trying to peddle swamp coolers. That's like spamming Aleutians to buy ice!
