I decide to put the stuff back into our barn as the new concrete we had poured Monday was ready for things to be put back inside. That is a whole other story...but the floor is great. So, I finish and head towards the house.
I can't just sit around and do nothing knowing poor Chuck is out there working on the bike and the toilet has to be fixed. Heck, I think I will put my plumbers hat on and fix that toilet. Little did I know what I was in store for. I got the directions out, and followed them to a T....had to run back out to the shop and get a tool I needed, and Chuck was about at wits end. He has been struggling with a bracket that was being very stubborn, and he said THEY hadn't even attached it. So it is all bent and with a little more luck, he got it put on.
I head back to house, and I start following the instructions. OK, so now I am ready to take the old parts out of the tank. Check...now the tank is supposed to be detached. Check....now I look at the parts that are on the tank vs. the ones we got. Hmmm, looks like the new parts are way to small.... About that time Chuck walks in, and he looks at my mess....he is now informing me that there is no way the new parts are going to work....I think I had figured it out by then, but is was sure good to get his vote on it.
So, here I sit, writing a blog about our crazy evening and the toilet is totally apart. I would run back to the store and see about getting the correct parts, but I just don't have the energy to do that. Plumbers hat is going to have to be hung up for the night. As far as the Harley goes...Chuck has hung up his tools for the night too, and I sure wouldn't want to get one of those calls from Harley asking him what he thinks of the service department at the Harley store, cause I think they might just want to hang up on him... :) Just sayin!!!
Ooh, so sorry you had a bad day, hope today was better! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you even tried to tackle the toilet. I'm not sure if I would have. I'll bet Chuck was surprised when he came in to see your help :)

ReplyDeleteCheer up, Diane! It’s so nice of you to help Chuck on that toilet plumbing issue. I’m pretty sure he deeply appreciated your help. I hope your plumbing problem gets resolved ASAP. By the way, you can drop a bleach tablet into the tank to keep the water sanitized.

You got your hands full from the plumbing issues and your bike problems. Were you able to solve both problems? I suggest that you take it slow and solve the problems one step at a time. Or it would be best to hire someone to do the plumbing job so you can focus on solving the other one. How does that sound? :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys were able to get through your plumbing and motorbike problems. You must be overwhelmed with the predicament you went through that day. I hope you sent the motorbike to the repair shop and phoned a plumber to fix the piping in your house. That way, you just have to sit back and let the experts do the job.
