    potty training

    My Lovely wife always complained when I would accidentally leave the toilet seat up. Well i make sure I put it down now along with the cover lid. Now she is complaining about putting the lid down, she said she has to put it up to use it. I told her it looks nicer with the lid down. Still not happy.

    Lower unit

    Hi Guy's and Gal's. I am going to change the impeller this year. When I go to put the unit back on is it hard to get the water puckup lined up or is it something to just take care when you put it back on. I have the Seloc book but some things are not real clear. Thanks
