14" roughness...
It's good to know that the wall isn't adding stability, but scary to think that a heavy porcelain tank is only supported by those 2 bolts... Especially in earthquake country! If I had small kids, it would be a definite NO. Hmm, are 2 grown men equivalent to a toddler? LOL!
I called my local Lowe's, and the price they offered for the Cadet 3 in 14" was only about fifty bucks more than their current shelf price for the 12 inch standard... PHEW!!! Looking online, the 14 inch was DOUBLE the price of the 12!!!
The salesman REALLY tried to push the "comfort height" ADA taller toilet, but we all have short legs, and it would NOT be helpful to have a taller toilet. The body is more efficient on a shorter one, so thankfully we didn't have to go there!
I guess I'll HAVE to special order, but the guy at Lowe's says he locked in that price for me for 48 hours. I guess I can live for a few more days with what we have.

OH! Does anyone know if the special coating on the Cadet 3 is all through the inside as well as the outside? Apparently we are having to replace this toilet because of hard water build up over 35 years reducing the pipe size!
(We measure the water here on the Mohs scale, it's so hard! LOL, and LA claims to have the 3rd best water in the nation? Haha, maybe BEFORE it goes through the ancient pipes!)
