diff_explanation: "Original = Porcher 1 Champion One-Piece Elongated Toilet (model 97420), a premium designer European-style fixture purchased March 2006 from homeclick.com for $519.35. Destroyed in 2021-07-29 shed collapse. Porcher's American Standard line is now discontinued under the same model number, so exact like-for-like replacement is not market-available. Replacement: EPLO iX7-PRO Smart Toilet (ASIN B0D83KVTBW) — same like-kind function (elongated one-piece toilet) with modern feature additions (heated seat, bidet, auto open/close, instant warm water, integrated dryer). Liberty's approved $519.00 covers the like-kind replacement amount; the household absorbs the upgrade premium above $519 out-of-pocket. Variance is documented and within Liberty's like-kind functional equivalence standard per the variance-defence framework."

**Porcher 1 Champion One-Piece Elongated Toilet, model 97420** — Porcher is a designer European-style fixture brand (now part of American Standard). Photo composite shows: original Yahoo Mail order confirmation from homeclick.com dated March 2006 ($519.35 total, line-item highlighted "Porcher 1 Champion One-Piece Elongated Toilet · 97420 · $519.35"); a damage-state photo of the toilet bowl shattered on the ground next to lumber debris (red bordered, "Porcher Toilet"); and a "Earlier picture: Porcher Toilet" reference image showing the intact unit in its original installed state. Originally **stored as a spare/replacement unit** alongside other in-storage fixtures (not currently in-service plumbing — context for why it's a contents-loss line rather than a structural-fixture line). "15+ years since March 2006" but Porcher fixtures are designed for decades-long service; depreciation should reflect the brand's longevity premium, not standard residential-fixture depreciation curves. [TBD: confirm "spare/replacement" framing — was this stored for future install or currently installed somewhere?]
