Hi Paul, The link to your House run didn't work. Is this it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQwJQkEh2QY Haven't forgotten your bathroom in spite of what appearances indicate. Had surgery a few months ago and am now mostly recovered so will proceed with caution. Still not ready to shave myself or my yak. Tom
