Toilet Install
Toilet Install

Welcome to civilization…
We managed to install out toilet in the bathroom at the Littlehouse last week. I didn’t make any step-by-step photos, but they are all pretty much the same.
The choices were a little limited, as most at the big box stores were the low-water-use 1.28 gal per flush models. Home depot had a dual rate one that used 1.28 gals for one type of flush, or 1.6 gals for a full flush. I thought about getting that one, as it was only $99.00, but then thought about possible repairs in the future. I think that maybe the parts for that special mechanism might not be readily available ten years down the road. But most “standard” toilets all have interchangeable parts, so I went with one of the standard models.
The Stirling Stinson had a nice floor saving design. After installation, I notice that if you just press and release the lever, you can get a low volume flush. But if you press and hold the lever for several seconds, you pretty much get a full flush. So we get the dual-flush action with standard parts.
Things work out in the end… Here are some details:
