Amazingly, I just installed a sprayer onto our toilet. This statement surely requires explanation (wait for it), but for now, let us bask in the glory that I successfully performed household maintenance.
It all started with cloth diapers. We finally, after using disposable diapers for a year, are making the switch to cloth. We haven't incorporated cloth into Edie's daycare yet, and there are times when we still use disposables*.
But then there's the poop. Here's a nice thing about disposables: you throw the poop away. Poop in cloth entails toilet swishing at the very least, before dropping the diaper into the bin. What we need is a mechanism to get the poop off.
Easier said than done. So we buy a toilet bidet/diaper sprayer nozzle over the Internets. One arrives, with less than 50 words of instruction on the box, with the phrase, "Installs in 5 minutes!"
I'll cut to the chase, to say after two trips to the hardware store, one compression converter, a trip to Home Depot, one replacement fill valve, a missing and replaced washer from the sprayer manufacturer, the box was only ten minutes off: It took just 15 minutes total to install our diaper sprayer. And it works!
Given that two and half weeks transpired between the frustration and the 15 minute installation last night, I'm pretty proud of myself for a swift home project accomplished.
Yeah me!
*for example, disposables seem to curb diaper rash better than cloth.
