Here we go, it's all finished! :up: :up:
Hard to see but there is a drawer under the sink that runs down each side.

The towels above the terlet are extras. There are 2 beside the sink as well.
Pictures are all of family.

Thanks, it's a nice upgrade from the 30+ yr old originals.

let me know how the black fixtures are - I have admired them wondered if they would show white from the water
I really like seeing what people do in their homes :)
Wish I could remember to take before pictures, work gets done and it is like I imaged it so I have no record

I have noticed some spots so they might require extra cleaning.

I am not impressed with the toilet as it does a poor job of cleaning the bowl of anything that is not in the water.

Nope, they even brag about the new design that doesn't swirl the water around the bowl during a flush and say it does a superior job of cleaning.

Bull Puckey as it does a poor job.

Aw, sorry to hear that :(

Ours is actually really good for that. I'm surprised the newer gen isn't better . . .

Update,

I contacted American Standard Canada and they made a couple of suggestions.

The one that fixed the flush problem was to hold down the handle while flushing.

Made a world of difference. I am happy with the way the toilet works now.

A work in progress. Only taking me three months to get around to it! Working for a living, raising a family and playing hockey kinda get in the way of DIY projects. Also cutting tiles outside in February didn't go so well because the pump froze.

When the flooring is done, I'll have to sand down (or paint) the cabinet doors because my daughter spilled her hair dye on them.
