How to install a toilet

We have to make due with the tiny blue tiled bathroom on the 2nd floor (see below). But I was not cleaning that toilet (everyone has a limit). Plus, you needed to pull a makeshift lever made of broken plastic and painters tape to make it flush. So, we went to buy the first item for the house. A nice cheap, clean toilet.



Step 1: Get a decent sized caffeinated coffee.
Step 2: Drive through McDonald's and get some nourishment (a job like this requires extra grease - opt for the sausage McMuffin)
Step 3: Have a joint meltdown over the stress of buying an old gutter of a house but blame the meltdown on your cold ham and egg mcMuffins... that's not sausage! who ever orders the ham? no one!!! well, it's too late now just eat it.
Step 4: Calm down and enter the hardware store – look like you know what you are doing
Step 5: Ponder over dual-flush, elongated bowls, display specials, canadian-made vs other place made, tanks, flushes, handles, wax rings, heights etc.
Step 6: Walk around for 30 minutes looking for a sales person
Step 7: Purchase the perfect little cheap toilet and throw it in your car
Step 8: Call your sisters boyfriend, ask him to install it with a bribe of beers and burgers (we could probably have figured out the rest – I watched the youtube video – but we also wanted to hang out and eat burgers and drink beer. Thanks Brian!

Did you see that classy tile work?
