Maybe I just throw in the towel and rename this blog a home diy blog??
The latest project is the 1953 toilet in my bathroom has started leaking (and wasting) water from the tank into the bowl.
First issue became apparent pretty quickly..the screw and bolts holding the tank on were completely corroded. I tried some rust blaster on them over night: nothing. I moved on to trying to hacksaw them off - a futile exercise. So I brought in the big guns and borrowed an angle grinder from my old boss. This did the job in literal seconds, and boy, did I feel tough using the angle grinder. I also felt a little bit like the girl from Flashdance so that was fun.
In the middle of the hideousness…
You can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs - my mantra
Ha! And I thought I could get through this screw with a hacksaw 🤣🤣
Well. As much as I could tell you I got it all back together and all is perfect now. Sadly there is still the leak. I think I need to put in a different kind of gasket - remember this is a vintage toilet!! So I have this ordered on Amazon and will take care of this at the weekend.
Fingers crossed for me please!! 🙏
