New toilet in the apartment


Well the landlord is pretty great, he jumped thru hoops to get the pad ready for us before Alex was born. He even had the carpets cleaned, and said I could use the garage (Mancave) if I cleaned it out for no cost.


He had reservations on the toilet and shared them with us as we moved in. It has leaked from time to time, but a collection vessel (trash can) usually did the trick, and in a few hours it would subside. Well no more, something shifted, and it leaked about two gallons of water overnight, and none of it was collected. It all just rolled down the tank and bowl surfaces until it met the floor. From all the water laying around, it looked like we just gave Chance and Harvey baths.


So I've done this before, and the landlord already had all the hardware waiting for this moment. Started at 5:20pm, and by 7pm we had a new toilet installed and the old one on the curb.

  2. At one time, using your friend Paul's "twa'let" could be inviting a quick trip to the basement!! Talk about movements!!!! His current "twa'let" is much nicer and safer, too!!! You did a good thing replacing yours!!!
