Mark the Plumber -- A Photo Story

[kybearfuzz]

I love my house. It's one main drawback is that it only has ONE bathroom. So the toilet has been making a gulping sound of late when the tank is refilling. The noise scared my mom on her last visit. I told her she had broken the toilet and would now have to go outside in the woods. She replied, "Been there and done that." Mom is of the outhouse generation...

Instead of finding a plumber and paying through the nose, I decided to fix it myself, one of the other joys of homeowning. I stopped off at Home Depot and a cute and helpful guy told me what I needed to fix the noise and I was on my way.

Never one to let a potential disaster go unrecorded, I took pictures along the way of my attempt at manly repair.




The gulping toilet in my house. The noise was disturbing at times.



If you're going to be a plumber it's best to dress the part -- ball cap, sports shirt and jeans -- call it method acting.



The fix is in the box, nice and compact.



So much in here, what to use and what to put back???



The thingee goes where???



Taking things apart from below. Non-Union Butt Crack.



Fill valve removal was successful. I thumped my chest in pride.



After a success, a break is required per Union regulations!



After reassembling the toilet with the new fill valve, I listened for the hopeful absence of the gulping noise. I am the Toilet Whisperer.



The Gulping is Gone! In celebration, I pounded my chest again :)



Like most manly guys, I popped myself another cold one.



GRRRRR! Crush that can with my forehead!!!



OW!



With the hard work done, I now have the evening free to pursue more wholesome activities, like drawing dirty pictures, reading comic books, and/or cruising the internet for porn.

Hmmm.. I do recall an agreement between us that if I posted my ass on the net, you'd do the same. Hmmmmm... so when will Brian be posting crack...? :)

LOL... one inch of butt cleavage does not a Gypsy Rose Lee make! And it was integral to the plot! :)

As for laying on the floor, I do it often.. :)

Why thank you! For my next trick, I'll clean the gutters! :)

Thanks.. if I'd have known my crack would get this much attention, I'd have put a USDA stamp of approval on it for photo purposes.

Well, aren't you the little actor!
The buttcrack shot is priceless as is the Toilet Whisperer line.

Very bright, very entertaining and very handsome.

Nicely done!

Not that I didn't mind, um, yours.

The next time I visit Cincinnati I'm buying you dinner. Take that!

OMG, I *did* have those shower curtains. LOL.

[boobooirl.livejournal.com]

Brilliant!

But am I the only one who got confused for whether the captions were above or below the pictures...

For the crack shot, I think the comment ABOVE it is possibly even more fitting! LOL!!

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

LOL! That's a good one, I had not even thought of that :)
