Toilet Repair.

The downstairs toilet leaked. Mary had turned the water off to it, and I had to figure out why it was leaking. So, I checked it out, and found that the flapper needed replacement. So off to the hardware store. Back after the trip to get the toilet working again. Replaced flapper, and fiddled with chain length and finally got it working so that it wouldn't stay "open" after the flush. I have kids, and they usually don't hang around after they flush to "jiggle the handle" if the toilet tank doesn't fill. So I got it working, and now it isn't leaking. About 15 minutes of fiddle time, and 45 trip time. Lucky me. One small victory in the battle of home ownership.
