Top Toilet Photos

I recently did a presentation for Career Day at my daughter’s middle school, and to make sure I kept their attention, I decided to share some of my favorite toilet photos. I mean c’mon, who doesn’t like potty humor?! So here goes.

Painted toilet. I can’t make this up.

Below an electric panel. For the record, electric panels are supposed to have 36″ of clear space in front of them. Also, note the location of the water meter.

Permanent toilet. You’re supposed to install the toilet on top of the tile, not tile around the toilet.

Return register next to toilet. That’s a great way to efficiently transfer bathroom odors to the entire house.

Strategic bath fan placement. Yes, an in-line exhaust fan is installed behind the toilet. Not a bad idea.

That’s all that was fit to share. I’ll have something helpful or educational next week.
