My mother-in-law has this crazy toilet that some very creative do-it-yourselfer installed. What this previous owner lacked in plumbing skills, he attempted to make up for in ingenuity. The sad result, an improv high-tank-toilet made from a regular toilet. In other words, he separated the tank from the base, cobbled together a box close to the ceiling, stuck the tank in it, and then routed some very sketchy pipe down to the toilet. All this to save space in a tiny bathroom. If only he know about the Eljer corner toilet. This clever design lets you install the toilet in the corner, and the shelf-top tank is actually triangular for a perfect fit. Available in more than a half dozen colors to suit any bath decor. Prices range from about $330 to $420 from VintageTub.com

About Marc Lyman
HaHA Nice, that how toilets used to be the system was high up on the wall
with a pipe down to the bowl. Hence the old fashed chains. You should have put a photo
up of it, sounds a laugh.
