*laughing* I should have remembered to tell you that the tools would fall in the toilet when tackling the seat. Sorry. At least it was only twice instead of like my happenings. Was just a horrible uncoordinated situation with me dropping just about all the different tools into the bowl. At least it was brand new and never used so I didn't have to worry to much.
I saw you responded to my last post about the screws being decorative, so I am guessing yours weren't. Haven't a clue what they were thinking when they build these things. They never consult the people who will have to replace parts to see if its easy or do able.
YUCKIES on the mouse. I am going to keep my fingers crossed for you that it isn't a rat. I agree that if it were a rat you would hear it scratching. They aren't the most discrete roommates. Hope it was just the one.
