About Blog

    Instead of bombarding our friends & family with mounds of pictures every single day I've created this blog.

    You can access it anytime of day or night, & when you get bored reading my commentary, you can always look at the pictures & go about your day.

    You can expect at least a post a day most every day, including pictures, so refresh often! Also, be sure to sign the guestbook (located here) to let us know you've visited.

Toilet Lid Sinks

I've seen these occasionaly around Japan and at first was afraid to use it, not knowing what to do with it... *smile*

But, check this out... It is a way of conserving water is to route the perfectly clean water through the lid, as a sink, before moving it into the toilet for flushing. Now they are available in the US, too.

From the Real Goods Online Catalog...

"With each flush of your commode, clean water that would otherwise go straight down the toilet is first routed up through a chrome gooseneck spigot to dispense pure water for hand washing. The Toilet Lid Sink installs easily without tools, is attractive for any bathroom and is a great space saver. Shuts off automatically. Porcelain-like white plastic replaces your existing tank top and adjusts to fit standard toilets up to 8in wide and 18-22in long. Built-in soap dish. Overhang varies up to 1.5in."
