OUT WITH THE OLD-IN WITH THE NEW!

 WELCOME TLB FRIENDS-

When I was considering what topic to write about this morning I started thinking back to what projects hubby and I have tackled since moving to our Florida home full time. This might not be the prettiest blog ever, however, when it comes to the environment and our children and grandchildrens' future,  I felt I should share something some of us don't often think about on a daily basis. 

When we began planning a budget for our home renovation we decided it was time to replace the existing toilets. I know it's not something that's usually "first on the list of TO DO's," however, as you read further you may change your mind like we did!

Federal plumbing standards now specify that new toilets can only use up to 1.6 gallons per flush. My husband and I always try our best to make good sound decisions where the environment is involved, however, in this case our past builder was the one who educated us on using "low-flow" toilets. We were quite pleased with them. With that in mind we purchased the same toilets we had in our last home.

The photo below is one of the old builder toilet from 17 years ago.

    It was a good friend all of these years, but in this world today, conserving our precious resources is very important!

                              

          Below--after the removal of the old toilet. The floor toilet 

         wax ring was replaced with a new one and our walls and trim 

         were all repainted with our new paint selection. 

                                        (Sorry for the mess!)

              The photo below is the new toilet all "seeded" and ready 

              for use . Not only is the profile more appealing to the eye, 

             the seat is a bit higher, and its "low flow" feature is a lot

             easier on our water budget!

              I bet when you got up this morning to read my blog you 
             never thought you'd be reading about toilets! As our days 
             and years quickly fly by being aware of our environment
             is so very important. Our precious resources need to be
             protected, and only we can do this together!

                                  Thanks for stopping by TLB!

                                     Have a wonderful week!
