IT IS THE KIND THAT DOESN'T TOUCH THE FLOOR, WITH ALL THE FLUSHING DEVICES NEEDED PUT ON A STEELFRAME THAT IS CRUCIAL TO SUPPORTING THE TOILET ITSELF. THE WHOLE MECHANICAL AND CARRYING CONSTRUCTION IS PUT BEHIND A FALSE WALL THAT IS ON THE BACK OF THE TOILETPOT. I hope that was loud enough. ;o) I think they are called wallmounted toilet in English, but am not sure. > > > >So lucky for us there is this very nice new stuff on the market with very > >nice rubber fittings that make it possible for any laymen to puzzle a > >suitable and airtight PVC pipeform together without having to glue the > >stuff. > > Mind sharing a brand name, in case some of us ever have a similar need? I don't mind but unfortunatly I haven't got a clue as to brand name. It is practially the same stuff as the ordinary ones but these you don't need to glue because they have a rubber ring fitted on the inside of the cuff that is usually glued in the ones you need to glue... I guess that doesn't make much sense... I should go sleep now. Btw, We finally managed to finished our rather out of the ordinairy toilet construction. I even jumped some around on it and thus tested it thouroghly to see if it would budge. It doesn't move an inc. eh oops 10^-3 meter.;o). So all it now needs is that nice Ytong construction with some tiling to cover all that carefully placed constructionwork up What a pitty ah well, we are slowly but truely approaching the finale of our attempt to create a nice and cosy easy to clean bathroom WITH a tub Yay.

It has to be installed into more or less the space where the old toilet was, only now it is a hanging toilet I'm not sure what you mean by a "hanging toilet" . . . can you amplify? that is placed under an angle toward the corner instead of flat onto nearly the middle of the wall. In order to keep the original wastepipe in place we had to 'lego' different waste pipe angles, straight parts and different waste pipe sorts together. The considerations that lead to the final somewhat wild looking but totally valid construction were 1) We have a big waste pipe so restriction in applying reasonable angles aren't going to be an issue very much. 2) We'd like to keep the original waste pipe in place, just in case we'd have to move and they are demanding restoring the old situation. 3) We don't want to glue the PVC pipes together because we might change our minds altogether and get the shower back NOT A CHANCE IN HELL after all this. I hope eh... So lucky for us there is this very nice new stuff on the market with very nice rubber fittings that make it possible for any laymen to puzzle a suitable and airtight PVC pipeform together without having to glue the stuff. Mind sharing a brand name, in case some of us ever have a similar need? --Ronn! :) I always knew that I would see the first man on the Moon.

I loved doing that... I mean that was the sentiment afterwardsI > think eh... Oh, man, when I think about the effort put into installing the water conditioner here, and how much of the trouble could have been avoided with that It was almost heartbreaking, watching the guy sent out to install the thing having problems with it in the August heat for so long. (It would have been nice to have been able to flush the toilets during the 2 hour period that was supposed to only be 30-45 minutes, as well.)

Um - are you leasing/renting this place? I'd always assumed from the sheer amount of hard work (not mentioning expense) that you've put into it that you had bought the house.
