The old standard low tech toilet is one of the greatest inventions of all time. They’re virtually indestructible, easily repaired and will last many lifetimes.

Yep and now because of EPA standards you can only get a toilet that flushes with a cup and a half of water which has to be flushed 3 times.

I just installed 2 of them and they are a joke. I wish I had the old ones back. If I ever need a new one I am going to buy an antique one, I don't care how much it costs.

If there are any salvage yards near you, they are often a great source of building components. It was years ago in a different city, but on my first whole-house rehab, I got used stainless-steel cabinets with glass door inserts and glass shelves for my bathroom, for very little money. They had originally been hospital cabinets. This was before stainless steel even became popular. I also got wooden six-panel doors, brass knobs and various other fittings, cheap.
