Faucets. Water lines. Garbage disposals. Faucets. Refrigerators. Dishwashers. The list is long. Every one of these things will eventually fail. Luckily, none of those failures have resulted in catastrophe for us. But we've replaced all of that and more. Today was a big day, as another pain in my ass has been kicked to the curb. The toilet in the kid's bathroom has been a nightmare The only thing going down without a fight in this thing was water. I have plunged and snaked this thing so many times, I lost count. I pulled that sucker out to replace it. My curiosity got the best of me, and I did turn it over to look inside. What, you ask, has been clogging this thing for 5 years? A BIC pen.
It's always fascinating to see a gaping hole in the floor. Good fortune was upon me and the ring was in good shape and holding solid in the floor. Just needed new studs and a wax ring.
Viola. A brand spanking new toilet, from stem to stern, water line included. Ah, the old plunger can rest easy for a while, until the next thing gets stuck.
Last year, the ceiling fan in Hanna's room literally began smoking. Yes, smoking. Cheap, cheap, cheap builders grade crap. It lasted 15 years but the fan speed control broke years ago and only worked on hurricane-blast mode. I replaced that today too with a much nicer looking, quieter, smoother, LED-lighted unit. It's been a good Valentine's day!
