If You Could See Me Now…

Oh, Internet. If only you could see me now.

Water circles on the knees of my jeans, damp socks, and pruning fingers; tools strewn about, nuts and bolts, and spare parts surround me. I am fixing a toilet.

I have rebuilt one toilet since I moved in and am working on the second. In this case I believe it was a flush valve problem but decided to do a complete rebuild so that I would have some confidence on what the status of the moving bits of the toilet were made up of.

I have a bit of a leak right now. I need to figure out if it’s the flush valve assembly, or the gasket under the tank. I’ve decided that I’ve had enough for the moment and have left it for the night.

I like this song “Artificial Heart” by Jonathan Coulton. It sounds like a Weird Al song to me. Not that I’m a big Weird Al fan, but there is something about this song that appeals to me.

    Some things are worth hiring a professional for.

    That is so awesome.

    You really need to start watching Parks & Recreation. You would have loved Ron Swanson in last night’s episode.
