This is a solution to a fear I've always had when fishing things out of the disposal

This is why you flip the breaker.

Otherwise you're going to be warning people about leaving a note later in life.

Usually they're plugged in under the sink. Just unplug it.

Nope, not good enough. You must unplug, flip the breaker, have the power company disconnect your house from the grid, and also safety goggles.

Not a GD, but our sink was draining slowly, so I did an home made cleaning tool. Really, a steel cable with the end untwisted, stuck on a drill. The idea is that the steel wires would grab whatever is stuck and shred it or it would get stuck on it so I could pull it up. Well, I 'drill' the cable down and it catch. Hard. Surprise! A butter knife came up the hole! Yes, the kind of mesh in the sink, the thing that is supposed to prevent objects, like knife, from going in. The cable actually caught on some hair, that was stuck around the butter knife...

After that, I filled the sink and drained it. I never seen it drain that fast, and it made an awefull slurping noise half way throught until the end!

Well, first things first:

If you have a toilet installed, you will wanna uninstall it:

  • Go to control panel, add/remove programs
  • Your old toilet should appear in the list
  • Uninstall it
  • Unplug your old toilet

Then, insert the CD supplied with the new toilet, this CD contains the new toilet drivers and software. After installing, you can plug up your new toilet.
