joe randel's art dump

So today I was going to replace my basement toilet with a new flapperless toilet because I’m eco friendly like that and yeah… it didn’t go over so well.

I’m not the best handy guy in the world but I do what I can and I like to learn new things.  But when it came to this job… I was able to turn off the water and drain the toilet but the nuts and bolts where rusted and fused in to one piece of metal.  URG!  Who ever put this stupid thing in didn’t use brass nuts and bolts now I have to suffer because 4 hours later… I couldn’t get the stupid things off.  I even went out and bought one of those dremmel tools and that didn’t work.

Suck…

So I call my Dad because Dad’s usually know this stuff and he just redid his whole bathroom by himself.  He said that if I’m lucky I should be able to turn the whole bowl counterclockwise (with the tank removed) and pull up and the whole thing should come off.

Well, we have company over for the week so it’ll have to wait until next weekend.  I’ll fill you in on the results then.

Stupid toilet…

Hope your weekend was better then mine.
