Toilets are relatively affordable (about $100 for a cheap but perfectly functional one) and actually quite easy to install. Unless there's deliberate damage that's not visible in the photo, this should take a trip to the hardware store and less than an hour of work to fix.
(A really malicious ex would have taken one of the kitchen cabinet doors. A matching replacement would probably have to be custom-made.)
thats a good idea, thank you.
Toilets are heavy, I'd be more concerned about physical danger from anyone willing to carry a toilet out of a house.
…since when? It’s only ceramic, not cast iron.
And yes, the integrated jobbies aren’t light, but they are just unwieldy due to their size. The rest of them (at least 90+% of all residential toilets) you can just disconnect the tank from the seat and take each part out separately.
Missing out
They didn't have to season their seat though.
Ever got one in an oven?
They are still an absolute pain to do on your own, especially if you are a small woman
Tip for next time - when having to lift a toilet, and you have at least a fingertip gap between the tank and the wall, you can do a vertical lift in the following manner:
The weight of the tank should balance out the weight of the front part of the bowl, giving you a reasonably balanced object, albeit not a light one. By lifting from the drain hole, you are putting the lifting motion close to the centre of gravity, making it a lot less awkward. If that is still too much weight, unhook the tank from the bowl and move separately, just be aware this will make the bowl quite front-heavy, you will need to switch hands and stabilize from the front of the bowl.
But still lift from the drain hole, it will still be easier than most any other method.
Source: not a plumber, but have done my fair share of toilet swaps in my time. Blue-collar jack-of-all-trades father who worked as head of maintenance at a large hotel showed me that trick.
I'd rather ruin my back then stick my hand in a poop hole.
Since always? Ceramic isn’t light
I had to help parents replace a hinge on some that were made 15 years ago.
Company out of business, all stickers faded, different sizes in different places.
Happy to say after 3 trips to hammer barn, 3 days of trying different things and pulling my back twice (fucking low corners) we finally....
Gave up.
I bought a house built in 1979 and never renovated -- drop ceilings in every room, wallpaper, and carpet that used to be pink. I replaced everything - ceilings, walls, and floors. I even had to replace structural elements because the termite damage turned out to have been "repaired".
I dared not touch a single thing in the kitchen.
Going a bit off topic, I know they are out of date but I always wanted one of those "conversation nooks" you see in 60s and 70s movies - any chance you got one?
I also cleaned my mates carpet as a house warming present when they moved in. Turns out the grey carpet was actually a nice blue.
Don't you mean the Grooving Area?
I think it is called the Orgy pit.
Probably??
When was the last time you priced toilets? I was just looking at them at Lowe's and they're all $500ish. Maybe they have some cheap ones in the back?
2019, but I just checked and on their web page the store brand is $90.
