Hi, I don't remember what brand, but I took a picture of the packaging. I'd reckon it'll take 2-3 weeks to break it.

good effort, did you wipe up the poop residue though?

Op, if the two plastic bolts are too much for you to handle, then call a professional

>>1126637
I tried, I think I got all of it, there's a chance there's extremely small amounts left.

>>1126639
Two plastic bolts that I had to screw in. Please don't simplify complicated tasks like that. It took me nearly a hour, but I got it done and I'm proud of myself.

What's going on with the flush actuation; is that a dual flush system? Is that aftermarket?

>>1126620
It looks like it's a Bemis seat, maybe. OP can you take the seat off easily for cleaning?

>What's going on with the flush actuation; is that a dual flush system? Is that aftermarket?

Yup, You're right. It's an after market dual flush actuation.

I don't live in an area with sewers or anything, so I've got a water tank that gets emptied monthly (which costs $) so I gotta save water.

>OP can you take the seat off easily for cleaning?

As long as I've got a 13mm wrench, I can take off the bolts holding it on. So not extremely easily, but not difficult by any means.

Did you make sure to use lots of hot glue? And what are your thoughts on cardboard? Thinking of putting one of these in my underground shipping container bunker after I rebuild all my awesome domes that somehow collapsed even though they're so fucking great and I'm the fucking Jesus of diy. My current toilet has a seat I made from pallet wood, which is absolutely excellent in every way, but all the nails and splinters sticking out keep stabbing me in the ass, which I actually kind of like. Also, I have 9001 used tampons, what should I make from them? Oh and I have no tools and no budget. Thanks!

>>1126659
Hi, I'm not really sure if you're joking, so please stop??!

Ok guys, OP here. I'm done with Q&A. Thanks!

>>1126661
You're telling me to stop? All I want to do is build a functioning computer from two switches and a broken calculator I found, its called /diy/ not /biy/ faggot I hate you kys.

just remember that in the US of A, there exists TWO, I repeat 2 different types of toilet seat commonly used. A round type and an almond type of seat. The almond type of seat is for those toilets designed for a mans junk not to get stuck in the toilet and for urination. A round type of toilet is more for women and small children.

I hate the round seats. I wonder if women hate the oval ones.

>>1126665

>>1126773

>>1126607
You bastards think you're funny
Just wait til you have to change the seat on one of the old 1 piece kohlers, where the bolts are held in by expanded rubber like an expanding spud gasket on a urinal.

The old nuts never hold enough to let you unscrew, even if they weren't corroded to the bolts. There's not enough room to easily saw the bolt heads off.
And if you do saw the bolts off, the remaining piece falls with the nut and spud into the tiny hollow in the bowl, that makes sure you don't have room to just put in another without removing the parts left behind.

And why the hell are seats for old Case one piece toilets like 100 dollars when everything else is ten?
Gotta love explaining to a customer that a toilet seat really does cost ten times as much as usual and i'm not ripping them off.

>had to get a special approval from regional to increase my budget just pay for the seats.

The best part is they're not your average home center toilets. They're the commercial toilets you see in places like grand central station designed for abuse. I have no idea how she managed before moving into a home. We guess that she just didnt have a seat and sat on the rim.

Honestly, your toilet looked happier without a seat.
