It's in and forgot to get the small bird to sacrifice. My friends thought I had lost it when I was upset about not getting the bird.
Was not as short on the riser, thank goodness, can take to toilet seat riser back home.
Broke 2 drill bits and bumbed the heads of multiple screws, I know me and had PLENTY of both. Ended up screwing them in by hand. Almost. My friend came over the next morning and finished screwing them in with her drill, she stood over it. I cannot, my back won't let me. It is in and working great. The old toilet is in the compacting dumpster in the campground...thought about keeping it and asked myself why? It needs all new seals and the stink....yuck.
Hubby found 3/4 ply, he cut the rectangle at home, Tracy and I used the jigsaw cut around the flange and the hold down plate. She messed up the circle and she cut a chunk out of the waste wood and screwed that in so the hold down plate had all 4 screws. Believe me, the jigsaw and my wrists would not have cut any better. Danged arthritis messes up so much...the bathroom does not stink any more. That is wonderful!!!
