It's about time

There are things that needed to be fixed at this house when we bought it. They were not unusable, but unattractive, or less than perfect.
I do not nag. I wait.
I have waited long enough that suddenly hubby wants to replace one of the toilets. We went out and bought the replacement after I got home tonight. He did not want to get one without me helping pick it out.
It was easy peasy because I had already pre shopped when we were at the lumber yard for something else. We walked in, I showed him which one. The nice young man working helped us load it, and the new toilet is home. (Great customer service).
Perhaps tomorrow it will get installed.
Then to get an identical one for the other one in a week or so. Yippee!
Do toilets make you happy?

Yep, and when they are newer and easier to clean it is even better.

@Courtlynn That is probably average. The plumbing is at least in part the green from the fifties, kind of aqua colored. It has had parts replaced since then but not the whole thing.

It was being annoying. Now it is being annoying for him to try to get it out.

@GardenGerty How come things often have to get worse before they get better?

I have always enjoyed having just a plain old comfortable toilet. In my old house here for more years than I like to remember just made use of a plain old plain old one. Now when I sell the house and get back to the states any toilet at all except for a really crummy one will seem like a throne to me. Glad you found just what you were looking for.

This one seems to have a very forceful flush, and I am appreciating it.

As long as my toilet works I am happy. Glad you got your new one and will get another new one in a week.

@GardenGerty
So how does it look now? What do you mean by a rocking toilet?

And a new one is easier to maintain.

Yes, always! I see to it that toilets must be always clean and look attractive.I even take care about the lighting also. In fact when ever we go to any hotel before checking in the room we just check the toilet first to decide if that is fit for us or not! Thanks @GardenGerty !

This one was not so much dirty as it was not working properly.

I will be happy when it is done, but there is a glitch. Old houses often have glitches.
