Who says you can't always get what you want?

The dual flush toilet of my dreams now resides comfortably in my bathroom. Its amazing how much money can be scrounged together when one really wants something. Today we took that extra cash and bought a dual flush toilet at Costco. Who knew Costco would have such a device? Well we discovered it in a dark corner a few weeks ago and have been plotting the adoption ever since. Even the employees were surprised that the store carries toilets.

Jesse was a bit reluctant to get the project started this evening. I think this is because we don't have the best track record of having EVERYTHING we need for a project. Delaying a project until Home Depot opens isn't that big of a deal, unless its the sole toilet. But with a little persuasion we began. Sure enough, no plumbing tape, but luckily that's something that can be bought 24-hours a day, probably due to the number of people just like us (that's a scary thought).

Really though the process was quite simple, turn off water (we had to turn off water to the entire house since the toilet shut-off doesn't work), remove old toilet (we had to break the bolts due to rust), place new bolts, add wax ring and sealant to toilet, place (this took two people), seal using body weight, hook up water connections, turn on water, add toilet seat! Ta-da!

Its beautiful!
