kybearfuzz: (Luigi Plumber)
[personal profile] 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

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

Proper Attire

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 Right Tools

The fix is in the box, nice and compact.

WTF?

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

Directions

The thingee goes where???

Non-Union Butt Crack

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

Successful Removal

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

Union Break

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

Listening for Gulps

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

Triumphant

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

Celebrate with a cold one

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

Crushing the Can

GRRRRR! Crush that can with my forehead!!!

Ow!

OW!

Good Day

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.

LOL! Hilarious. Two points:

1. You read the instructions??? What kind of manly man are you, anyways??

2. Plumber's crack usually isn't so hot!

I enjoyed this immensely. My friends journal-reading has suddenly been filled with some very depressing and emotional topics and light-hearted entries like this one returned a smile to my face. Thanks for being your cute and fun self.

Just some things I wanna point out. Great ass, I knew you had one. My, you can sure open your mouth wide. And that "cold one" looks like a diet coke. Shouldn't it be beer? OMG! I HAVE THOSE SHOWER CURTAINS!
