OK - so I have to go install a new flush on my downstairs loo. Actually, the flush works fine, it's just the seal between the cistern and the back of the bowl has been leaking for months now and I have been putting off fixing it.

The internal seal works fine, the one that keeps the water in the tank from entering the bowl til flushed, it's just the outer seal lets a little clean water out each time the loo is flushed.

I'm replacing the whole thing because the mechanism pre-dates my ownership of the house and if it is old enough for the seal to have degraded and the whole thing only costs €8 to replace then I may as well.

Thing is, now I've actually gone and got the parts and the job is staring me in the face I don't want to do it. I've done this before. I know what I'm doing and that it isn't a big deal. I just don't want to get on with it.

Help me procrastinate. Talk to me!

Toilets in the U.S. are different from toilets in many other parts of the world, so it might not be a good idea for those of us in the U.S. to provide advice in this case, that is, serious advice.

MB you sound like you have got your shit together :wink: for the plumbing. Need a job? I am ready to fire Ramazan the plumber who assured me he had installed a p-trap under the master stateroom sink while I was sniffing around trying to find the source of the sewery smell.

Guess what? P-trap yok! And the bidet burps when we open the sink drain.

You sure that's the bidet?

I wasn't asking for advice.

Sorry vince, I import Hick to do any serious plumbing that needs doing around here. But I'm sure he'd love to visit with ya :smile:

 

[chicagosam]

Yeah, Baby! :booty:

With an offer like that on this site, I am sure there are hundreds lined up to "plumb" your pipes. Enjoy!

Did you know that the bowl water swirls the other way in Australia?

With the toilets I've seen in Australia, there was no swirl; their toilets are of a different design. Moreover, the rotation of the earth would have little effect on something like that.

I must admit that I'm partial to anything furry and wild.
Let's just forget about the little part, though.

Awe MB, I always put off DIY projects like this. Since moving into my new place, I have a lot I could be doing instead, I'm sitting here procrastinating. I however, like many replies to this thread. Especially the one about the sign taped to it that says Do this tomorrow and read it every morning. That one was great.

Is that the best you can do when cross?

Toilet or not toilet, that is the question...

*groans*

 

[cockoloco]

Pussy!

Oddly enough, I do not feel insulted in the least. :tongue:

Jeez, man up!

Do it. And do it now.
