Passing of a Motion
A while ago we got all the permissions to go ahead with the toilet system. Trouble was we had to wait for the plumber to get his act together and install the waste pipes down into the cellar and then tell him how to connect them to the recycling unit. I am quite sure that he doesn't believe that it will work. You know, human waste in one end and compost out the other. I just hope that it works as I have never installed one or used one before, a lot of firsts on this project isn't there?
Might write a book about it all one day but then again its been done before by better writers than me. I digress, now the plumber has gone its up to us to install the toilets or at least get one in and working as we have friends coming to stay and a half finished shower and no toilet for them apart from in the caravan which is just a tad inconvenient (pardon the pun). Having finished off the plumbing to the toilet and got the fittings together it was time to fit the toilet. The instructions from the manufacturer's were surprisingly clear and apart from a hiccup with the water connection everything went very smoothly. That is until we tried flushing it! oh it flushed beautifully only trouble is it's flushing with HOT water. AAARRRGGHHHH that bloody plumber has a lot to answer for! So after turning the water off and tracing the pipework back to beneath the sink in the bathroom they were duly swapped over and eureka a flushing toilet with cold water!
Only question now was who gets to use it first, this is an important step on the way back to normality after living in a caravan for 18 months an in house toilet is an absolute luxury soon to be followed by a shower.
Progress has at last been seen to be made. Oh and it wasn't me that got to use it first either that honour went to the lady of the house*********

Living within 500 meters of a tombstone (classified), I've had the pleasure of dealing with the Beau Arts. France can be a nightmare sometimes!
