What Is The Point?

Yesterday... Charlie and I went shopping for…of all things….a toilet, a commode, or as Joshua says, “a potty”.
Our County water supplier is offering a $100.00 rebate for installing the newer 1.6 gal. commodes.
Arriving at Lowe’s and Home Depot we find that there are 20-30 different choices in styles of all things…..toilets!
Yep, this is the good ole U.S.A.
Where else can one get ‘stressed out’ over choosing the right ‘potty’?
And actually is there a ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ one?
Just a matter of opinion….is my ‘opinion’…
As our Southern friend, Patsy, always says…”Suit Yourself”!
And that is exactly what we did….
Now the county must inspect our ‘toilet’ to see that it meets the requirements for a $100.00 rebate….
So there is a ‘right’ toilet after all….according to the official ‘toilet inspector’…..
”ULF (ultra low flow) toilets must be ANSI certified to use 1.6 gallons or less per flush.”
Saving or conserving water….is big business now in 2004.
That’s the point….
………so ‘suit yourself’ …to save or not to save…..if the ’toilet inspector’ came to your house….what would he find?
At mine….he will find….one toilet passes inspection….one does not!
We intend to ’prove the savings and aggravation of replacement‘ before doing the second one….
To be Continued!
