A Reluctant Celebration of the Toilet.
And there you go. A toilet and a sink. Just in time for the Meadowlark Festival. (we're part of event #27!)
The marble, sink and faucet were salvaged from a condo in Whistler, where the dump fees are very high. We bought the toilet from a plumber for $50 (he assured us the previous owner was'very clean'), then his friend called and offered us a clawfoot tub for free if we would haul it away. The vanity is from salvage, and yes, we painted it that way on purpose. The glass knobs were salvaged from some old drawers found in a 100 year old lady's basement. The light fixture and the exhaust fan are new purchases, which pains us greatly.
While the toilet is a necessity for 'occupancy', in the year of our lord 2007, isn't there a better way?

It is possible on certain spring days to lay in the tub and observe the marmots at play on the rockfall behind our home. That's right, marmots!
It'll be even more fun once we have hot water.
