| TOILET TROUBLES My wife and I have had rental properties for the last 10 years and by far the most common repairs that have been needed are with the toilets. I guess that makes sense. There are a few toilets in each property and they are used multiple times each day. I can't recall how many times I have had to go replace a flapper, check on a slow leak, adjust the valve or simply unclog a toilet. Calling in a plumber is very expensive so I tried to do most of those jobs myself.
But I travel a lot and my time is valuable too so when we were designing
this home, I put in a lot of research into the toilets. I wanted

There is a toilet out there that is hands down the best reviewed and before now I had never heard of it. The maker is *Toto* and surprisingly they weren't any more expensive than the pricier Kohler or American Standard toilets. My builder was going to put in his standard toilet but I insisted that I get to pick that. Since I found Toto toilets on a website for the same price as what he would normally pay for the other brand, there was no problem. I'm hoping that my toilet trouble days are now behind me.

tired of jiggling handles and replaces flappers, etc.
