Terry,
I had to laugh at your story! A fella gave me a toilet for a not-yet-built
bathroom in my shop. I fooled with that thing, replaced the guts, acid-flushedit
to remove the lime, and more. Finally replaced the darn thing witha new one; the
only thing that was good about it was it gave me the impetus to actuallybuild the
bathroom. (sure is nice to not have to go outside to "check the sawdustpile" like
we used to!)

Sure glad to know that I'm not the only one to catch himself in sucha trap.
