    Once again, if they'd just stop going so cheap on the roof and side construction of these trailers, a lot of this could be avoided.

    That’s the way it should be.

    That’s a good price for glasses. For some reason they are quite expensive around here.

    While looking for something today, I ran across this blurb. So I scanned down to the good connections and noted them.

    The official supplier of NASA’s space shuttle toilet seats was Sanderson Plumbing, formerly Beneke Corporation, in Columbus, Mississippi (American Profile 2007.) Gold and Silver Pawn shop brought it from a man who stated he worked at Sanderson Plumbing and was given the seat by an engineer. The seat was a prototype and wasn’t proven to have been in space.


    A space toilet is a zero-gravity toilet. The collection and the retention of liquid and solid waste are directed by airflow. The air is filtered to control odor before returning to the cabin. Many specifications have to be met to manufacture the seat. This was not the only achievement of Sanderson Plumbing. Sanderson Plumbing built the first vinyl toilet seat in the world in 1975. It made the toilet seat Elvis Presley died on (Commercial

    Dispatch – per William Browning, March 13, 2014). It was one of two places that had the capabilities to make plastic toilet seats, wooden toilet seats and soft vinyl toilet seats. (The other is in Wisconsin.) Sanderson Plumbing manufactured toilet seats for residential, commercial, airline and space shuttle bathrooms until closing in the summer of 2014.

    (Sheboygan, WI)



    The business has been under different names and different owners. It had been in operation for more than 120 years. One logo on a seat in the early 1970s was Tuffy. Tuffy was printed on the paychecks and Tuffy was imprinted on employee’s T-shirts. Tuffy wore boxing gloves. The manufacturing facility was Beneke, Beatrice Foods, Sanderson Plumbing, and Beneke Magnolia.


    Noted the Beneke jacket comment, so I thought I'd give you a visual. Pic is a shot of Edgar Barnett; my driving teammate,
    leaning over "Shorty" Moore to argue something. The jacket...

    You are using OSHA approved safety equipment while using a ladder, right.
