 CS> Wince.  Ways to help with that.  The cork for example mostly 
 CS> makes the seat fit well, rather than rock.  
RJT> Which it *did* tend to do after the job was done...
Grin.
RJT> I'll remember that tip.
 CS> The rubber gasket about the toilet wont last as long (waxy ones 
 CS> last 10 years by average, rubber 5 or so). 
RJT> Well,  it was handed to me by a guy I worked with.
Not a bad deal then for a place you didnt live in long.  For future ref, 
remember to get a thin sheet of corkwood, and use the wax seal.  Note also 
newer toilet units have a smaller base than older units.  If you dont have 
the money to replace the tile/linoleum, about the missing parts but have some 
woodworking skills of a minimal type, you can build a small flat boxlike 
fitting about the base to cover the gaps and paint it pretty.  This will also 
hide it if you have to use quite a bit of corkwood to level the toilet so it 
doesnt rock.
 CS> (breaker box) Heck, we were really careful.  We just opened it 
 CS> and looked.  Like I said, we know when it's time to get a pro 
 CS> in.  Crispy critter dance isnt my style .
RJT> Yeah.  Most of it isn't a problem,  as far as I'm concerned,  
RJT> especially if you connect the wires to the breakers before you snap 
RJT> them in and as long as you're careful where you put your hand and 
RJT> tools.  If I'm at all nervous I'll cut the mains off,  or go even 
RJT> further upstream.
True!
Eithr way, due in is the fellow who did a good bit of the work before the 
most current work.  Free estimates on the way .  Small local outfit, but 
with an *excellent* reputation for quality work according to several other 
locals I have asked.
