after looking up the rube goldberg device that keeps this thing working properly and seeing that you cant even buy the same type toliet anymore i decided perhaps a new seat and replacing the tank flusher parts was a better way to go.
Yeah, smarter way to go. Had a client with a house full of the wall mount ventless toilets. Wanted new ones of the same type. Didn't want them after I told her they were $700/ea to buy and about $200/ea to install.

Clames, you've seen the photos. If I pull the baseboard and peel up the linoleum myself how hard of a job would I be looking at to tile it myself?

My plumber is also my tile guy. He’s coming by here today to change out my pot filler and fix backsplash. You want me to send him over so you don’t make a giant mess?

Just remeber if you put tile or anything on the wall behind the toilet the new toilet won't fit unless you get one with a different offset. Adding anything to the back wall will change the rough plumbing of the toilet flange.
Toto makes toilets with adjustable toilet flanges but they are expensive. I have one and had to have the piece special ordered which took over a month.
Also my idiot father in law bough the wrong toilet and the back of the toilet wasn't close enought to the back wall. The doofus sat down and leaned against the tank and it caused a leak between the tank and the bowl.
Adding ship lap or tile to bathroom walls isn't as easy as you think.

How has no one mentioned or questioned the pirates booty in the closet?

While this is pretty, Pedestal Sinks suck. You need storage.

i didnt know this was a thing but i checked around my house and every toliet is at least 3/4 - 1" away from the wall. i dont think 1/4" thick shiplap or even thinner beadboard would affect this too much.
