The bathroom can be one of the more troublesome spots for DIY or do it yourself enthusiasts Cleveland Cavaliers Kevin Love Jersey , because not only would you be dealing with a fairly limited space, but also, nearly everything in it has been fixed, or had installed in a permanent manner. Pneumatic drills Cleveland Cavaliers Kyrie Irving Jersey , concrete nails and other such installation methods mean you would be dealing with concrete or granite when you want to install something. In any case, it is still possible, so go ahead and DIY freely.
The installation of toilet bowls is one of the most difficult DIY projects in the bathroom area. Just how does one install a new toilet bowl? Follow these simple steps and watch your new bathroom toilet stand high and proud.
The steps
1. First locate the water source for your new toilet bowl. Often, water pipes have been laid down near the base of the ground Kevin Love Cavaliers Jersey , or have been semi-fixed on the floor. Make sure that the water valve has been turned off before you attempt to work with water pipes. After you have located a workable point with the water source, measure the distance to your new toilet bowl. Remember, make exact measurements. Cut the needed length for the new toilet bowl.
2. The flange for the new installation should be installed as well. Slip it over the pipe and begin installing the valve, too. Toilets operate with what we call compression washers; install the compression washer and make sure that the whole assemblage is secured tightly. No leaks means less water wasted.
3. The drain plug for the new toilet should be cleaned thoroughly of any debris that might hinder the passage of water. Papers and small plastic pieces should be removed. After the cleaning Kyrie Irving Cavaliers Jersey , the flange should be finally secured.
4. Wax seals are included to make sure that the base of the toilet bowl and therefore, the water and all its future contents would not spill unto the surface of the bathroom. Place the wax seal on the toilet correctly as well.
5. Silicon caulk or other similar bonding agents can be placed in addition to the wax seal to make sure what has to go down, will go down, and not out.
6. If you have no one to help you out in this particular do it yourself project Kevin Love Kids Jersey , it's alright. The task can be done splendidly by even just one person. The success depends largely on your own familiarity with your bathroom and the basic principles of plumbing. If you followed the instructions here to the letter, then there is now way that you are going to fail. Have fun while doing it, as well.
7. The toilet must be aligned to the nearest centimeter with the wax seal. Failure to do so might cause the toilet to flop over or leak. The correct measurements should have been done well before the toilet seat if finally lowered into its final place in the bathroom.
8. If your toilet bowl has retaining bolts, install them all. Retaining bolts prevent your toilet bowl from falling sideways or flopping over. In some instances Kyrie Irving Kids Jersey , the weight becomes a factor, so never ignore these little bolts. Your safety and the success of this DIY project depend on these little details.

The Intimus 26CC Cross-Cut Shredder appears to be a solid machine with very competitive specs relative to the competition. Used properly I'm not sure why you wouldn't have this machine for quite some time. Below we break down the individual specs.
Security
At a level 3 security, this cross-cut shredder gets the job done. Although there are higher levels of security Kevin Love Youth Jersey , a level 3 machine provides a sufficiently small cut size to put your identity theft worries to bed. We also like the cross-cut because it takes up much less space which means that you won't have to empty your bin as frequently as you would with a strip-cut machine. There is really no reason to jump up to a level 4 machine unless you have some ultra-sensitive documents you need destroyed.
Shredable Material
The Intimus 26CC Cross-Cut Shredder can shred CDs, Credit Cards, Paper, Paper Clips Kyrie Irving Youth Jersey , Staples. If you need to be able to shred something else then we recommend that you look at a larger machine andor look for something with a little bit lower security (the higher the security the less likelihood that the machine shreds something other than paper).
Continuous Motor
This shredder is not rated for continuous use. That simply means that you will have to shut the machine down after a certain period of time to let it cool off. Now don't let this scare you away because most people will never reach that point unless they just sit down and start shredding and shredding and shredding. If you plan on doing all your shredding at one sitting then it is highly recommended that you get a machine with a continuous duty motor, otherwise you're just fine.
Bin Size
At 6.9 gallon bin, the Intimus 26CC Cross-Cut Shredder is a personaldeskside machine. You won't be able to shred too much before you have to empty it, but presumably you won't be shredding that frequently. If you will Kevin Love Womens Jersey , we recommend that you jump up to something with a bigger bin size.
