For those items that you mention there, it would be cost prohibitive to replace the entire unit. Keep in mind, most of the newer toilets do not include the best seats either.

Chains are easy to swap out as are the seats.

Happy DIY'ing.

I moved into a new house about a year ago. All of the toilets seem to be a little cheap in that: 1. The lids are plastic and come off easily (I don't really want them to ever come off) 2. The chain on the flushing mechanism comes disconnected frequently Is it easy to change just theses parts or should I be thinking about new toilets. Should I just call a plumber or can I upgrade parts at Home Depot?

What should I do if I have frozen water pipes?

If you are leaving the house, you definitely want to shut the water off to the house, in case the water line bursts. Otherwise, if you can find the frozen area, you can take a hair dryer to the spot to slowly thaw the pipes. Don't het the pipe quickly, as this will most likely cause the pipe to burst. Just always be ready to shut the water off to the entire house and have a bucket near. Good Luck.

Best way to detect a leak in a residential irrigation sprinkler system? We had sprinklers installed when our house was built 10 years ago. Now, we have a leak somewhere in the lawn due to a pipe burst, probably from the recent freezing. The original contractor went out of business.
