the end of mellow yellow

alright, dear reader, this just maybe the pinnacle of TMI.

for the last few years, dabney and i have been practitioners of "if it's yellow, let it mellow." our close friends and frequent houseguests know this about us, but we see it as water waste issue. you can call it disgusting, if you want to. i don't care.

so with this opportunity to start anew in a house catered to our own quirks, dabney and i long made the call to install dual flush toilets.

Dual flush mechanism

less water for no. 1, more for number 2.  makes great sense, no?

we first encountered these toilets when we traveled to australia five years ago and thought they were genius. turns out they're pretty popular in many parts of the globe, except the u.s., but are slowly gaining favor.  why we are always reluctant as a country to adopt such things i'll never understand.
