    WW, already have the $28 TP holder - I never showed her the warmed toilet seats:rofl: :lol:
    She's gotten everything she's wanted to date;)
    no more "ideas" needed -like I said I'll be returning the toilet that will flush 16 golfballs(my choice) for a golden Bode.

    You've heard of changeorders?:rofl: :lol:

    My upstairs toilet is supposed to be able to flush a bucket of golf balls. It's great that it has enough force to move all the solids beyond the trap, but I don't trust that small amount of water to take my business all the way to the tank.

    Flush it 2 or 3 times, and it's still not nearly as much water as the old toilet would use on 1 flush.

    We really like our new toilets too, they use so little water that the tank fills back up quickly so he can flush during and after. Like you said, still less water! Important here since every drop that goes through this house is hauled here via a tank on his pickup. And, no clogs either. Even the old 6 gal toilet would clog.

    Ok so a hardware question... Door hardware
    Removed four other doors on the main level for cleaning - Spray Nine is the way to go by the way
    Re-spraying them in the shop with a semi-gloss.

    Anyone go with a doorcorner.com for replacement hardware i.e. hinges & knobs - open to suggestions on decent suppliers?
    Trying to change out most of the brass finish with satin nickle

    Not sure about door hardware but check this place out, I got nice handle pulls for my kitchen cabinets at Liberty Hardware on the internet. The same mfg'r was $6.98 PER handle at home depot, got them for just over a buck here.

    I bought all of my cabinet hardware on Amazon for dirt cheap. Same exact stuff as the box stores but about 25% of the price. I needed like 60 door pulls and hinges so I bought the big packs, which probably cut down on the costs a lot.

    Got the new vanity installed and the beadboard done, still waiting on the top.
    The chair rail has ~1" of rabbit for play to match finished backsplash on the granite
    another coat of paint tomorrow and the toilet should be ready to set.

    yeah he said the drawer was going to be too tall - I'm pretty easy going on these type things.
    You'll hardly ever see it anyways, that picture is from the height of a 2year olds perspective

    the one bottom drawer on the right hand side has bead the rest are solid.
    GF didn't like it on the first one, and I asked the builder to delete it from the second one, but it was there anyways - guessing he didn't have maple stock that wide for the panel
