Money For Old Toilets

The toilets in the house when we moved in, were, how should I put it, less than functional or delightful to use. But what can you do? You have to have at least one of them in working order, and given the extent of the changes we are making to both bathrooms, there seemed no point in putting new ones in quite yet. And I must concede that old toilets, though problematic, can be entertaining. The downstairs toilet took to squealing at times after being flushed. It would squeal for weeks, then stop, and then start again.
The upstairs toilet was out of commission before we moved in and was now residing in the garage. This was not because we couldn’t bear to part with it but because we were awaiting a visit from our Town’s toilet inspector to verify the age of our toilets.
In order to help conserve water, the Town Fathers had approved a scheme to offer residents $200 in water bill credits for every toilet pre-dating 1993. It was with great glee that we learned about this programme before we rid ourselves of them because the downstairs toilet was born in 1987, while the upstairs loo was even older dating from 1979. $400 in water bill credits. Yippee!!!

As usual, credit where credit is due. Take a bow boys.
