Its those seemingly unimportant details that snag me….” How important can that be?” is a question I frequently ask and its usualy the preamble to some sort of glitch. It was like that when we purchased new toilets for the fixer upper.
Whats the difference between a five star flush rated low flow toilet at $109.00 and the same rated toilet at $149.00 ? So on close scrutiny we notice that the lower price was likely due to skimping on details. The seat for instance was of obvious mediocre quality and the usual two little nubs that generally keep a seat off the porcelain were so small that they fail in this task. An innocuous detail indeed with a $40 per toilet savings, who cares about a flimsier seat ….right ? Well, as it turns out, I do. All is well until its time to wipe, and being a righty I tend to lean over the left leg. At this point I notice that the seat sits right on the porcelain because suddenly, as I lean forward, large tufts of hair are ripped from the back of the right leg where they had been trapped between the porcelan and the seat. Choices are few and simple, one is to just head on down to Ace for a replacement seat……but being really frugal I’ll likely tough it out untill I’m bald in the back of the right leg. Innocuous little details will get ya every time
