Kinda girl. Sorry I missed that.

I never could get into Nine Inch Nails music, it reminds me of tweaker music. Guess I’m too much of an old fart.

<- Not a tweaker

Although I am a bit OCD so yeah, it probably applies. Close enough.

I also say POIT! a whole lot & just when I'm about to make a point I ofte...SQUIRREL!!

Well there you go. I don't know you at all so of course my guess is terrible.


Sounds a bit ominous.

Having dinner with Dean Winters?

Hmmm. I plan on driving away from my house tomorrow morning (but now it's likely going to be late morning).

Anyway.....FUCK THIS TOILET!

Can you believe this 64 year-old ass bitch rusted out?! Surprisingly enough, the far side that is intact is the one where the bolt just completely disappeared. One day (yesterday) wife was like, "Are you going to fix our toilet?" I take a look, "Where is this bolt?" She responds, "I have no idea, the cats probably did it."



So does the standard repair kit fit? Of course not! The only thing standard back in '54 was racism and beating women when they burned the chicken. I thought the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock holes would fit a 5/16x18 thread, but nooooooo. So I tediously drilled through the existing steel plate in order to sink some concrete anchors (my house is on slab). Did that work? You bet your ass it didn't work. There is nothing under the existing ring but dirt and the occasional root. So, since I had the holes already drilled, I took a shot in the dark and used a 5/16x18 tap (the very first one I grabbed out of the drawer) and tapped all the holes. The tap didn't break until the last one, and it was still usable.


I gave my wife the task of learning how to compare thread pitch and finding some comparable bolts in the nuts and bolts drawer in my tool box. Success.


I put the wax ring on the base like I have every other time I've replaced one, and it would not seat properly.


It's back together, but I'm not really satisfied with it. I've got no choice though, since I'm leaving in the morning.


Thanks to my life coach for throwing suggestions my way on this repair. Thanks to my wife for sitting with me in the bathroom the entire time at my request.

[Mazin]

You did add the wax ring right?

Btw toilet fixing is a shitty job....pun intended

[Irving]

Yeah, I screwed up the first wax ring, I had a second (and three more) on hand so I got it seated.

[Mazin]

Dude every time I have to put in a wax ring I buy three, to date I still don't have any wax rings in the home inventory so that should indicate my track record

Btw good job, she looks sturdy enough to take a shit on

[Irving]

I'm very new to the world of taps and dies, and feel like I've been missing out my entire life.

[Mazin]

oh the wonders to be had when you can fix a hole the proper way
