New Attic Bathroom - Part 5

Sometimes things don't go according to plan.

This is not the sink and toilet that we planned for.  We intended to re-use the sink from the master bath.

But no joy.

We couldn't get replacement stems for the faucet.

So we bought a new faucet, hoping to re-use the sink.

Then we discovered that the drain was the wrong size - modern drains are considerably smaller than old ones.

So we purchased a new pedestal sink.

We wanted to re-use the toilet from the attic bathroom.  It uses a thousand gallons of water with each flush and it's capable of flushing 5 pounds of sweet potatoes at a time.

But no joy.

Modern toilets have a 3- or 4-inch horn.  Our old one has a 5-inch horn.

There was a mis-communication with the plumber - the waste line was sized for a modern toilet's horn.

Meaning that to use the old toilet would have required ripping up the tile to increase the diameter of the waste line.

Not.

So we made a quick trip to the Big Orange Box to get a new toilet.

This one supposedly will dispense with a dozen golf balls in a single flush.

I haven't been playing well lately, so that thought has crossed my mind...
