They might look at you strange, especially a young clerk, as they haven't been in circulation for a long long time now.

I meant canadian coins, not bills, I have no idea what each one is and they are all coins, no paper. Seems Canada use more coins for their lower denominations such as a loonie vs a dollar bill.

Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles - Outdoor Patio Interlocking tile

All in all, I'm super thrilled...
Thank you for such a detailed review of your maiden voyage! I loved hearing about your experience, it will sure be helpful when my time comes! How many floor tiles did you use in the bathroom? They look useful and I'm currently stocking my "hope chest" in anticipation of a fall delivery date. I think I will order some!

You're welcome. thanks for your comments.

I used 4 of those tiles. You'll need to trim two sides down so they fit flat on the floor.

I thought about blowing out a lite match and seeing if the smoke goes up or down, but wasn't sure if that was a good way to find out. Plus, I kind of forgot to do that while I was out last weekend and haven't had a chance to check it yet.

So, wondering if there's another way to check. Thanks.
Step #1: Close all windows
Step #2: Turn on the fan
Step #3: Flush the toilet

If you complete these steps and are wondering what is supposed to happen, your fan is blowing in.
If you complete these steps and wish you hadn't followed them, your fan is blowing out.


Sorry.. couldn't resist for my 100th post.

Thanks so much"Paulk". Now I have to wipe up all the coffee that came out of my nose after reading your helpful post regarding the direction of the fan.
