It's a riot alright!
(Thx for sharing!)

I do like the 20s style: some of the gals fashion were stylish, and a bit more on the natural side of things/looks, except the rather unnatural hairdo. Oh well, better than those mass-media brainwashed gal-y figures out there nowadays..so unnatural (look at their booopbs!).

Yeah, I'm not any betta in the west coast...a bit toasty also..

Q.

I put in a Toto one-piece (elongated) a couple of years ago and it's handled anything and everything thrown at (down) it. The only negative about it is that when you flush, it is fast and straight down the the drain. No swirling "bowl wash" so if there are any skid marks on the bowl, they may not get scrubbed off. Of course, setting it on the flange is a bit more challenging due to the weight, but you only have to do that once.

After installing it I spoke to my cousin, who is a remodeler and he said he saw a demonstration at a local plumbing distributor. The Toto rep put 5 Big Mac's in the bowl and it all went down with one flush. Since I could only manage to eat one, I think I'm good to go....

You bring up a good point I had forgotten about. Bowl wash was another reason I chose the Kohler.

The hard core guys wax their toilets before installation which I hear helps. I'm unsure of how I feel about waxing after installation as that sounds pretty unclean.

Make sure to level it and shim it (if necessary). I use composite shims and caulk only the first 3/4s of the bowl, leaving the back open in case of leaks.
