The anatomy of a toilet...

Sometimes I wonder why I don't have to pay tuition to work on summer crew for all the learning I do :-)

Today's lesson - The Anatomy of a Toilet - Removal and Installation 101



So, the bolt was stuck. Cara started rocking the entire toilet until - SNAP - the stool broke right off it's base. So out came the hammer and we took care of that stubborn bolt. (and Don laughed at us when we left the shop with a hammer in hand, on our way to remove a toilet)



Bye bye potty.

We had to carry the toilet out an apartment, down a flight of stairs, and outside to the golf cart. We were about 2 steps down the stairs when the water that was left in the bowl poured out and soaked the stairs. Cara and I started laughing so hard we could barely keep our grip.



Unfortunately we did not come up with this pose on our own. This is a classic summer crew scene, though usually it involves parading around campus with someone perched on the throne. We didn't actually ride the loo this time because its broken base made it quite unsteady.



Behold, the new throne!

Installed by yours truly, the gals of summer crew.



Yeah, we were pretty proud of ourselves.
