How is the wall both perpendicular AND parallel?

Since there was obviously a leak at the flange in the past, there is great possibility that nasty water got under the tile, into the backerboard. If the cast iron isn't the source of the stank, then consider pulling up tile.

I'm very happy with my Caroma Caravelle and my Toto Aquia.

I have one too. Recently, it seems it's not flushing as much water. I know I can adjust that though. Otherwise, the toilet works and looks great.

FYI, I've dropped a few dueces that have clogged my Caroma, as well as my Aquia. I eat more fiber now.

Glacier Bay....check the cartridge and seals. I'm guessing a low-flow showerhead is causing the shower's hot water to feed over to the cold line, of vise versa, and the increased pressure in that line is backing up to the point of least resistance, being the crappy Glacier Bay faucet.

There are gas sniffers, but I'm sure they're pricey.

As somebody pointed out on another forum, it may be a holy water basin. I'm suspicious as well...where's the faucet suppose to go?
