I bought a toilet

I hate my toilet.  With a passion.  It's old, uses a ton of water and is just a pain in the neck.  Last year the plumber came and replaced the whole inside stuff.  The past couple of months, the flapper has been sticking so that sometimes it closes and sometimes it doesn't.  I need to wait after flushing to hear the "thunk" of the flapper being closed.  If it doesn't I jiggle the handle.

Yesterday was the last straw. I've been doing a little research and finally decided it was time.  I woke up yesterday with a splitting headache and nausea so stayed home sick.  I thought some fresh air might do me some good so I headed out  to Bethesda, to Union Hardware.  

Within 30 min, a new toilet was bought.  This one.  Toto Drake,  1.28 gal.

The tank needs to be ordered and will be here in a couple of weeks. 

It's not the composting toilet but close enough.

Composting toilets

How crazy is this thought?  Composting toilet.  I think my children would not look twice as they abandoned me in embarrassment.

Would this work in an urban home in the city?  There would be no problem using the compost, that's for sure.

I need to investigate further.  First, my project for the winter is to get that worm system set up.
