Sometimes, it’s the little things.
I bought a tissue roll dispenser back in August 2024 in preparation for construction of the studio bathroom, which I had planned to complete in the next month or two. Instead, the project only advanced in fits and starts and was only recently completed. The studio now has a fully functional half-bath, a bed, lighting, and some basic floor coverings. When I finally got out the tissue dispenser, though, I discovered that the box had been opened and a simple but critical bit of mounting hardware (stamped metal in a V shape) had been removed and the box resealed.
I debated throwing the whole thing away, as I couldn’t think of any way to get a replacement mount, but I decided to keep it. Then when I was in the bathroom in the main house, I realized there was a ceramic hook in the bathroom that wasn’t useful (I’ve hung the Dyson vacuum under it) and likely had the same mounting hardware. I removed the hook, and there it was. I was able to hang the dispenser. Now the studio bath is just like what the big city folk have!
I do need to put a note in the bathroom cautioning about flushing anything other than pee, poo, or this toilet paper. The worms that digest the sewage are kind of fussy. With the bidet seat, though, folks really shouldn’t need much in the way of paper.
