Walt Longmire Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I built my house in 1986. The fixtures in both bathrooms are almond color. I think they call it bone now days. Anyway, I want new toilets. Well they are mostly manufactured in white. If you want anything besides white, it costs a whole bunch more. Unless you buy one of the really cheap toilets. Bastards.

SC Tiger Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Around here most of the toilets are the handicapped height as well (the taller ones). I hate those. I much prefer a normal-height toilet. I have a bathroom with a 5-gallon unit in blue. That will be the last thing replaced in that bathroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonny Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) I’m in the same situation in my kitchen. I’m not a fan of black or stainless appliances. Everything is off white (whatever they’re calling it these days) when something goes, I’m not sure what I’ll do.

tadbart Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) A friend has a black toilet. It's strange poopin' there. Plus, when it's dark, and you're a little drunk, I always worry about falling into that dang thing. can't see it in low light! I prefer low and long terlits. The one in my house right now is low and round. Not a fan of the hi-rise ones. Being a little longer in the torso than the legs, the low ones just fit better. Next house I build will probably have a low one for me and a hi-rise for the missus. In white, of course.

A few years ago when we got a co-op for my parents (90 y.o. and 83 y.o.s) we renovated and replaced both toilets with the tall ones (didn't know they were referred as handicapped heights!). I didn't want them sitting down for business and not be able to get up on their own! I'm sure it's a fairly routine 9-1-1 assistance call and the first responders would take everything in stride but my parents would be embarrassed to heck! After visiting them often and staying overnight on a regular basis, I'm starting to like the tall ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCHMAN Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 OTOH, I can see how someone with short legs that ends up with feet dangling in air would have circulation cut off and feel discomfort. Maybe a stool (pun not intended) or ottoman to put your feet up? :rofl: IDK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third was a dark leafy-veggy green. Tiles in the bathroom matched the equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 There are actually 3 standard heights for toilets. Regular (low) Comfort, and Handicap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 Recently helped a friend replace a toilet with a modern one. The old one was low and gray. Took several flushes when you dropped a deuce. The new one will eat anything, and do it with 1 gallon of water. But, now the gray sink and tub have to go.

Amazon has a bunch of colored terlets for ~$300 which is a bit more but not too bad. You want to put on heirs with you fancy colored terlet it is going to cost you a bit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 The Eskimos use buckets. I think it's about the same price for all the colors. Home Depot has orange ones. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your tub is steel and built in you might try what I did about 15 years ago. I found an outfit that recolors old tubs. The guy used some sort of chemical etching first before putting the new finish on. It wasn't cheap but was a lot easier that trying to get the old tub out and replaced.

PeterG7 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I cracked the tank on one of my 80’s vintage toilets, (pre Clinton crappers are best) replaced it with a taller model. The height is easier on the knees but the water saver is a terrible idea.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Our house (built in the 50's) still has the original toilets. The one in the basement was built for steelworkers. You don't want to be sitting on it when you flush it. It'll suck the cat from the next room. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
