In a new bathroom or in an existing bathroom that had enough extra space? I'd love to put one in our master bath but there isn't a place for it without remodeling the whole room. Typically they install next to an existing toilet. I actually found an attachment on Amazon. It's made by Astor if you wanna look it up. Only issue is it's not heated. Quote Link to comment

A true bidet cannot replace a toilet. They aren't designed to poop in or flush. They're basically just a sink you sit on to wash your junk. The bidet seats/attachments are just something that give you bidet functionality on a toilet. Quote Link to comment

Correct, but the combination toilet/bidet fits in the same space as a regular toilet, which you said you didn't have the space for and I've seen in a few houses. Something to consider.

This one replaces the toilet seat it looks like. It's fancy. It also costs 10x what mine cost. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0758D438F/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1523991948&sr=8-13&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=heated+bidet Edited April 17, 2018 by Moiraine Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I use toilet paper to wipe my ass. (TMI??) No complaints so far. As far as home owner projects, I did replace the TP holder with one of those fancy metal recessed TP holders a few years ago. IIRC it cost me about $12 or so. So there's that. 1 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Anyone here have experience using a corded electric chainsaw? I have a gas engine Poulan Pro 20 that I use, but it's so loud I feel like I'm bugging the neighbors with noise when I use it. (They've never complained. But still...) So anyway I ordered a Worx 16 inch corded chainsaw. It has a 14.5 amp motor which I guess is okay. (Most corded chainsaws have 10 to 12 amp motors.) I guess what I'm wondering is how well this thing will cut wood, and how long can I expect it to last. I ordered it yesterday on-line, and will get it in a couple of days. Quote Link to comment

I prefer corded (and even cordless) to gas chainsaws, but I use them so infrequently I'm not sure if I'll be much help. I used my cordless maybe a few dozen times over ten years or so before I loaned it to my brother-in-law and haven't needed it since (and I don't remember the brand). Worked just as well at year 10 as it did new, but it wasn't used much. 1 Quote Link to comment

I have a nice pile of logs from a black locust tree sitting in my back yard. I need to cut them into small enough chunks to get in my wood splitter. I'm told black locust is one of the hardest woods in North America. And it's better firewood than oak. Quote Link to comment

FYI, black locust is extremely weather resistant, and I highly recommend using it for fence posts and it'll last for many years without any treatments/coatings/repainting. I haven't tried it for sheds, decking, or chairs/stumps for sitting, but I imagine it'll be really good at those uses as well. Quote Link to comment

Also, I got this wood already cut up into 3 to 5 foot logs by a tree contractor. It came from a friend's yard a few blocks away. I just had to load it in my truck and haul it home. Firewood for a year! But I might save a few sticks back from some project or other. lol Quote Link to comment
