….when beginning irrigation, make sure the sleeve is FIRMLY attached to the flange.....

Had a Greek tragedy in my bathroom this morning....code brown everywhere....

Heh heh heh. Been there, done that.

And double check the clip while you're at it.

Been there recently, too. Thought the clip was firmly attached at the bottom but much gas was welcomed into the irrigation sleeve which loosened it. Just finished as brown "effluent" spurted all over the bathroom, not just the floor.

Unfortunately, that morning I had to be in court to contest a ridiculous $500 parking ticket I had received in my own condo lot. I knew I'd win, esp with photos and a doctor's note -- plus a handicapped placard I only use when with my mom -- but you have to show up on time! I washed myself off and gingerly left the mess.

The judge called my name at 9 AM as the cases were alphabetically assigned. I arrived at 9:30. I wrote several notes to clerks at the hearing. But was told to make an appointment to appeal... and I'm having surgery Aug. 24. Was at the appeals window feeling frustrated and tardy when a kindly court official told me the judge wanted to see me and another woman who had arrived late. I ran back and he dismissed the ticket and ALL court fees. Yay!

My way of celebrating? Cleaning the bathroom floor and walls. FUN! Great day at court. Not so great back at home. It was hot and humid. Flies and other flyikng bugs seem to thrive on the bown effluent!
