It seemed like a simple fix...turn off the water, take out the old rubber thingy, install the new rubber thingy and voila!
Sadly, that wasn't the case. Which is how I ended up with my downstairs bathroom looking like this for a couple of days:
You can also see the lovely instruction sheet from the kit purchased to take care of this task:
Oh yeah, and waaaaay down there in direction #6 is the small disclaimer that part you have supposedly bought the kit to fix, doesn't actually come in the kit. It is sold separately.
AAARREGHHH!!!!!!!
I do enjoy how they just slide that information into parethesis like a true after thought. It reminds me of why I never cook from a Martha Stewart cookbook. Because more-often-than-not, halfway through the recipe, you get to a step that tells you to go out to the garden to the tree you planted last spring and drain the sap for 10 hours with a tool that you can only get from Williams-Sonoma on Tuesdays in years ending with odd numbers.
In any case, I do feel rather satified that I eventually pulled this off and did, in-fact, fix the toilet!
I LOVE the color of your bathroom!!! What a lovely blue!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww, gee, thanks. I wish I could take credit, but the color came with the house. It is a great blue...in fact my mom and my sister and I all have a room in our house that is painted the exact same color and no one planned it that way.
