I see this with vacuflush quite often. Might have something to do with the way the waste drops into the cavity below the flush ball. I...

It requires quite a bit of care to make blind holes like that. You can always give it a try and if you break through to the inside...

I’m thinking about what a couple of my older friends said recently. They said don’t wait to do your traveling. Do it now, while you...
