Yes, that is a toilet. Installing one properly is a skill everyone should know, don't you think? Actually these are the new low-flow toilets - very appropriate to our Green Home workshop. They have dual-flush valves - you press the small button for #1 and the larger button for #2. Very clever, I guess.
Today was HVAC day (heating ventilation and air conditioning). Everyone learned how to put together a programmable thermostat. These even have indicators to tell you when to change the furnace filter. Absolutely amazing what they can come up with. In honor of our last day, the HVAC instructor provided snow cones (easy to do when you've got a lab full of freezers).
