more "man" chores
The toilet in my bathroom has been acting up. The water keeps going, and someone has to jiggle the handle. I couldn't take it anymore, so I went to home depot to use that stupid card they made me buy, and got my parts. I have found that it is better to buy the COMPLETE toilet replacement kit. That way, all the parts get replaced, so they won't rust or get so yuck covered that they are permanently stuck resulting in purchasing a new toilet. This time the complete replacement took only an hour and a half. The half hour part was trying to loosen the "bolt" that holds the thing that the flapper is attached to down. It is supposed to be hand tightened, but I don't know what popeye hand tightened it, cause I had to use a monkey wrench, and have the boy put all his weight on the tank to keep it from moving. But I gritted my teeth and got it loose. The girl helped me put the parts back on and it now works like new!!
