I have found the toilets I want to use in the house whilst on a random visit to True Value. Its a low consumption multi-flush toilet by Falali that allows you to switch from 1 to 1.5 litre flushes. Also the style is very fitting for the decor of the bathrooms



Fingers crossed if I can have them shipped directly from the manufacturer to me in Montserrat.

I've been considering changing the name of the project to Villa Horizon. This has arisen because the horizon is at eye level when you look out from the house.

thoughts?

plumbing: diy

I had to do a little plumbing (see previous post)

before...as the demo sub-contractor left it

taping to ensure it remains water tight

the finished product

with great gusto we gutted the interior, especially anything made of wood due to the termite infestation. Good! But the plumber went and re-connected the main, forgetting that works had begun inside. So I met a train of water (stagnant & smelly) inside last weekend when I went in. It had touched some of the things we had stored, so they spent the afternoon in the warm Caribbean sunshine.
