Home Remodel: Do, Don'ts, Advice

People here seem to know their shit, so what's the best toilet for under $300? Plumber suggests Kohler High Line, any thoughts? In the past I've been happy with Toto, but we spent all our money buying a house and can't afford pricey shitters anymore.

The one with the least “features”
Dumb old school
Simple
Cheapest one
Then get a seat you can live with

[climberevan]

IME most of the $200+ toilets are fine. The $99 ones are not.

Do not buy a strangely shaped or 1-piece toilet because it will inhibit the eventual, inevitable installation of a Japanese style bidet seat. Everyone should have one of those. I don't even give clients the option anymore: it's part of any bathroom remodel I do.

I think the main thing is identifying if you like an oval or round bowl and the height. We put a cheap American standard in our in law apt and it’s my favorite shitter now

If I remember right that's what a plumber told me about 5 years ago at a rental except they were under $200 then.

How many pool balls should it be able to flush? That seems to be the major selling point for all the big box store toilets I’ve seen

[fastfred]

plan on speending at least 300 bucks for a good toilet
then another 50 on a premo seat

no one should ever have a crappy shitter you might ask what is my knowledge well I buy lots of shitters and I swap mine out every couple years so I can test out a toilet and make sure I'm refering good toilets to my customers hell I buy at least 15 a year

so the highline and cimmeron have been my gotos lately past five or so years prolly longer but I can't remember much
I will only buy kholer these days when it comes to turd collectors

second up is a american standard cadet
I have been told that toto is great for splatter cause it some how is able to clean most of it off with a flush

do not every buy a shitter at a big box store always buy it at a plumbing supply house

so yeah buy the fucking highline elongated bowl comfort hieght with a self closing koholer lid skip the bidet add on and get your wife to eat your ass instead

[climberevan]

No one will want to eat your ass if it's nasty. If you got poop on your hands would you just wipe it off with dry paper? No, you'd fucking wash your hands.

Get a bidet, wash your ass, enjoy the eating.

We have a fancy one with a water heater that we brought from our PDX house, just have to run power.

There's a whole Highline family now, there are still some under $200 then they go up from there.

I read some article that Toto tests using miso paste. More accurate, but makes you look at miso in a whole new light.

I appreciate the professional opinion, but you know, I kiss that mouth. Maybe a question for the "would you eat it?" thread.

[adrenalated]

get your wife to eat your ass instead

and he wonders why he's single

shit faced post last nite was just trying to help

unfortunately I was hanging out with simple last week and he imparted much great wisdom the whole time
the downfall is he said "she was so hot I'd eat her ass" so I kinda latched onto that and for the past week or so I've been rating girls on would I eat her ass or not?

[XXX-er]

I put in a 67 $ Bidet attachment from amazon just before covid lock down and I'm still on the same package of TP from > 2 yrs ago, I think some people like Bidets and some people don't

Consider If you didnt skip that bidet the % of women " so hot I'd eat her ass " might go way up ?

Why not treat yourself to a Ferguson?

You’ve earned it.

Why would anyone prefer a round bowl?

no undercarriage to worry about?

[dan_pdx]

Yeah, one of the toilets I'm planning to replace is a round bowl. I'm like a bird perching on the top of a phone pole. Undercarriage is definitely a factor

[The AD]

My sister-in-law had a toilet that starting spraying water from the fill valve a couple years ago and she called a plumber. The plumber told her he'd have to "rebuild the bowl" and her best option might be just to replace the entire toilet, which she did to the tune of nearly $1,000 when the cost of the plumber's labor was added in. The same thing happened to a different toilet a couple months ago and I told her don't even think about calling a plumber. This is literally a $20 fix that takes about 15 minutes. Luckily she actually listened to me and I fixed it for her. Pretty egregious that a plumber convinced her to replace the entire toilet for something like this.

The copper pipe attached to my hose line cracked- The antisiphon adapter was leaking all over the place and we noticed some seemed to be coming from behind the wall too. I usually try to unhook the hose even in our mild Seattle winters but maybe we forgot. Anyway...

The copper section of pipe is not that long, so not sure what the best course of action here is. I can't pull it out much more than pictured. Never soldered pipe, not afraid to try but I don't have anything pipe related other than a blowtorch. I think a coupling would fit back in the hole. The white hose runs under my front porch essentially outdoors for a good 10 feet too.

[Supermoon]

I would maybe think about Pex instead of copper. We had this happen once and the plumber practically insisted. I don’t think Pex breaks of it freezes.
