Tell us more about the copper clapper caper!
And guilt-free, provided we give the dusky little savages a slightly better wage than they’d enjoy whilst farming their own excrement…
But think of the transaction and transportation costs! I’m not going all the way to Pakistan just to drop a deuce.
Thanks, I may take you up on that. When I get home later tonight I’ll see about a photo. Watch for a PM.
Huh. A more direct answer, I suppose, than Lockean plumbing, which would say that you had a natural right to your toilet derived from your labor.
If you’re an expert on toilet flappers, this gives your username a whole new meaning.
Having done this myself, you forgot some critical steps.
a. Snap off rusty bolts holding tank on.
b. Drive to hardware store for new bolts.
c. Get home and notice that weird goo around rusty bolt is a long-corroded rubber gasket
d. Drive back for new gaskets.
e. While fumbling inserting bolts into tank, drop your socket into the bowl. Reach in hand and fish out socket.
f. Stand up cursing, and back into the pedestal sink behind you, snapping the mounting bolt on the wall.
g. Take a break for a bottle of wine, and reassess your weekend plans.
Nah, just handy around the house.
What the hell are you, a French plumber or something?
I find good old American rye helps the home improvement projects along, but I’m kind of old school that way.
Well, look at it this way-not only can yellow be mellow, but brown can now stick around, just like the good reverand said.
I was going to recommend the same thing. I am very NOT handy, but I have replaced all of the innards for all four toilets in my house, and have been successful each time.
Oh, you did misspell number 3 though, it’s supposed to be ‘lick my hairy nutsack you crazy ass bitch.’
The Greaseman has been calling that an upper decker for as long as I can remember.
Has he ever made it back on the air?
Replacing the entire tank assembly runs the risk of overtightening and cracking the plastic bolt where the inlet tube meets the tank. If that happens, then the OP really has a headache. If the flapper’s the problem, I say just replace the flapper. Googling “Eljer flapper” yields numerous possible sources of a proper new flapper.
Locke Plumbing has responded to my email, which included photos to aid in identifying my toilet model. Turns out I have an Eljer “Emblem”.
A new flapper will run me about $15 with shipping. Was thinking I’d replace the seat too, and I now find I have to go measure because there is a standard and an elongated version of the Emblem.
If this takes up much more of my time, I will begin considering the socialist squat-over-the-(standard sized)-hole-in-the-floor method.
You do know that Obama is going to appoint a Toilet Czar. That’ll fix everything and leave capitalism intact.
