Bidet

I installed this a while ago before I joined the forum, but thought I'd give a little review. it's on our main family toilet and everyone has had a little go of it :shock: more of a novelty at the moment but it was extremely easy to install and seems reasonable quality (installed about 6 months no l...

Re: Hello

Welcome to the forum, PrepDad - it sounds like you've been very efficient! I can kind of understand a family man wanting to prepare an existing cellar as a shelter - what about more ordinary forms of problem - flooding, in the UK very often, house security in case of burglary, that kind of thing?
