I'm interested in the tank being built into the wall. I've seen some public toilets in europe like that, but not quite this specific design.

Guy Axlerod posted:I'm interested in the tank being built into the wall. I've seen some public toilets in europe like that, but not quite this specific design. Usually when you build a toilet like that, you use a bowl hanging off the tank frame inside the wall rather than actually sitting on the floor. It has advantages in terms of taking up less space(even if the wall often isn't thick enough for the tank and a false wall has to be built in front of it) and being much easier to keep clean(no space behind the tank or toilet bowl, easier to make a bowl with no nooks and crannies on the outside), but it has disadvantages in terms of maintenance in that if something catastrophic and hard to fix/impossible to fix happens inside, you're tearing down a piece of permanent structure rather than just yeeting a toilet off to the dump and installing a new one. Also for wall-mounted toilets, the toilet seats are often much more specialized(because the shapes are often more unique) than for floor-mounted toilets, and you're often restricted to just the manufacturer's specific original seat, which is a problem if you bought from some minor manufacturer that goes out of business two years later or that no wholesaler or DIY store recognizes/remembers. It's a repeated issue for our customers if they've bought a house with a wall-mounted toilet or had one installed years ago and didn't keep the paperwork/manual.

I recently replaced the failed wax ring on a toilet in my house and I appreciate how stupid dumb simple toilets are now. Water goes down the hole.

Thinking about putting a wall mounted toilet in my (only) bathroom because the current toilet has a like 16" rough-in and there's really no way to move it back (no I don't want a rear discharge toilet) and when you sit on it your knees are in the shower. It sucks, an in-wall toilet would save so much room and look amazing. Also my current plan is to install it myself so I'm really hoping to not become a candidate for this thread.

I wonder how many amps that lamp cord can handle, and on a related note I wonder what kind of power tools and battery chargers and lights they regularly have plugged in out in the carport at least they don't have to worry about overloading the ground

Hmmm. Okay, if you're gonna have it like that, and that's an if you can see from space, but if you are, I'd say you want to leave no room for misunderstandings which is the carport and which is the laundry side.

It sucks, an in-wall toilet would save so much room and look amazing. I would suggest not installing it yourself unless you're quite familiar with plumbing work. Not because it's necessarily very hard to do if you know how to follow the instructions, but because if you gently caress it up you've now got a well-hidden leak that can do a lot of fun hidden damage until it makes something collapse.

Yep totally agree with you there, that is the part I'm still waffling on. It may end up being that I do the general construction part of the install and the hire out the plumbing portion. I've got 6+ months to think about it. Really dreading the whole ordeal since it's the only shitter I've got.

Also if your drain plumbing for the current toilet is like, almost a foot and a half out from the wall, be prepared to get that floor hacked up and the drain moved if you want to get the maximum out of your wall mount. Have you considered hiring a... I'm not sure what the English term is, but here in Denmark generally if you're doing some medium/long-term work that makes your home unlivable(no bathroom, for instance), you can rent what's basically a small mobile home with plumbing to park on your front lawn for the duration. It'd mean the work wouldn't happen to have in a rush, and it would give you some breathing space if unexpected difficulties popped up with either work or supply.

At that point, isn't it arguably easier to drill a new well somewhere more accessible? Sure, the drilling probably costs a fortune, but still?

That depends entirely on how deep thy need to drill for a well and exactly what it would take to make an "access road". A dude in a miniex for a day is going to be a lot cheaper than drilling any new well.

I'd be calling the builders and ask what the gently caress. Typically there is a 1 year warranty on everything for new builds.

That 1 year warranty only lasts until the builder declares "bankruptcy" and stands up a new LLC the next week.

An anleggsbrakke, plus the usual Danish/Norwegian mangling? Yeah, I genuinely have no idea what that'd be in English either. I think the technical term is something like "modular workplace housing". Basically, I get what he means, and it's not a festival toilet, it's a shipping container sized building with plumbing you hoist into place and live in for the duration.
