Two weeks ago I wrote about my trials and tribulations regarding a
toilet that wouldn't flush any solids.


Since you just about proven that the fixture itself was to blame for your
earlier problems, I'd disassemble the sucker to satisfy my curiosity (you
need a hammer).


Well I don't think he needs a hammer, but an after action report on the old
unit might prove interesting.


I would disassemble the tank from the bowl and invert the bowl on the lawn.
Using a garden hose, I would "snake the trap" to see if there was anything
stuck inside. *My kid once dropped a plastic cap that caused similar issues.


I could do that, but for the time being we kind of like the incongruous
garden planter. *Maybe after awhile, we'll get tired of it or someone
will complain and I'll do a postmortem on the john.
