Crumbly Acres

Toilet time! My anxiety causes me issues. It has since 2005. 'Nuff said! I'd love a bidet, but we don't have easy access to a power source in the bathroom.  This was to be my solution. It was a good idea from Caitlin. It was the execution where I had my problem.


Sadly, I think the shut off tap is past its Best Before date. It is really tight to turn. When we had the toilet installed, it was shoddy work and took 4 people to actually get that done! It leaked for 8 days when we were away. The 4th guy accidentally sliced through the toilet stack: The toilet issue (2019). 

I disassembled my pieces and assembled them from the package. Downloading the manual helped.

I tried once and couldn't figure it out. I was sitting on a foot rest, to get down to the problem. With my knees there are issues getting up. I could not put it together, and the connection now leaked. I called one plumber, but they were working on a private home, have done since December and had no one available. I phoned another one, and got voice mail. 
We went for a drive to get out and about.

We drove up highway #511 and found this. It's been awhile since we drove this way!

We popped in and they put us on the schedule for Monday. 

Our plumber arrived Monday, earlier than expected. Glad I'd had to get dressed to put out garbage. The job is done. The shut off valve was good, except the last plumber turned it too tightly. We'll see how this works out for me.

This is a snow fence, doing its job. Nearly time to remove this, as well.

This is what our wetlands look like!

I really like these buildings.

Can you see? The snowmobile track is closed. They just have to remove the markers.

Big Rideau, and other big bodies of water, still icy in parts.


We are ready for spring!
