10-1-08 Visit

Well we took a day trip to the farm last week, we wanted to install the new electric toilet (yes electric toilet). See the attached pictures. We got there and I hooked up the electrical plug, which is a 20 amp receptacle and circuit, vent line and set up the tent enclosure around it. We then flushed it (it requires no water) and pushed the button to activate it. Loud popping sound and nothing happened. Went out and checked the circuit breaker which had been tripped, this is a bad sign. This toilet runs on 20 amp 120 volts, yeah you got it right, this was a 20 amp 240 volt circuit. Hopefully we may have only done minor damage to the unit after talking to the manufacturer. We will see. Here are some pictures of the toilet.

















We also installed to overhead lights in the barn over the seating area and dining area. Instead of the turkey decoy chandeliers we now have a light here.







Lois also got me to mount the porch swing in the seating area. In the following picture we removed the telescope and gate from the wall and put the porch swing there. It looks good there.




All that is left to do is to put in a mirror and small cabinet in the bathroom area. We hopefully will be doing that on the next trip. See ya all then
