Ultra Low-Flow Toilet Installed

Bob is on the newly poured pool deck as Don Humphrey and his crew apply the Texture-Krete finish to the top edge and traffic area of the pool. The concrete is treated with a bonding agent before the cement-and-polymer spray coating is sprayed on in textured drops. A crew member knocks down the drops with a trowel as soon as the wet gloss starts to fade. This 1/16-inch textured finish is painted with an acrylic masonry paint, applied in two coats and sealed. This deck is cool and slip-resistant and is pitched toward a drain that takes dirty poolside water away from the pool. In the house, Leonora Campos from Toto is in the guest lavatory where the sleek, two-piece Washlet 6300 with remote control wash, dry, and deodorize settings eliminates the need for toilet paper and repeat flushing. These ultra low-flow washlets flush clean the first time, save energy, water, and trees, and are more popular in Japan than microwave ovens. In the garage, Ernie Hutto from DAB Garage Doors is on hand for perhaps the most important feature in this storm-ready house – a hurricane-proof garage door with reinforced panels and tracks to prevent twisting, blow-in, and ultimate house failure.
