Home & Garden

For two weeks running, the Home & Garden section of the newspaper has been one of the more entertaining. This weeks feature article “5 things to know about buying a toilet” was a great follow-up to “How to choose a rake that’s right for you”.

1. “Measure”… This is pretty self-explanatory, no need to elaborate.

2. “Two-piece or one-piece?”…hahaha! Just so you know, “One-pice toilets are generally lower and sleeker…and often have more complex mechanisms.” Incase you were thinking of installing a toilet by yourself, the article warned that a one-piece is not a do-it-yourselfer job.

3. “Enough oomph”…very important.  Does your toilet have enough oomph?

4. “But will it clog?”…yep

5. “Form versus function”…it is warned not to pick a toilet just for it’s look.  You must make sure that there is function. This is especially important when buying designer toilets.
