I feel so proud!!! 🙂

I have never attempted to do that kind of thing, but my poor fiance has been overwhelmed with the remodeling of the kitchen. I was off yesterday, so I attempted to install a new valve that he had bought to replace the leaky one.

I followed all the instructions, and it is done! It’s cool, a [Leak Sentry valve.](http://www.accentshopping.com/store/bathandkitchen/toiletrepair/fillvalves/400LS.asp)

I can do anything now! \<snort!\>

Today, the toilet…tomorrow, the world!

Good job, **Dolores**!

You’d think a Leak Sentry valve on a toilet would do something completely different.

What are you doing on-line? You should be rocking and mudding the walls now.

I’m at work! This construction jazz is only part time on the weekends. This weekend we are painting all the cabinets, doors, and hinges.

Woo-hoo!
