One of the downstairs toilets wasn't flushing correctly so I installed a new Fluidmaster and flapper, problem solved, good for me.. Then LJ says one of the upstairs toilets isn't flushing at all!! I never go up there, nothing for me.. So another new fluidmaster and flapper and then I noticed that the tank bolts looked to be on their last leg so I replace them and the gasket so it's done right!!
Feeling all proud of my plumbing skills and looking to cause a Union walkout I check the other upstairs bath. Just as I suspected, doesn't flush right and the tank bolts look sketchy. Back to Lowe's Highway Robbery for more parts, 2nd trip in less than 4 hours. I asked an employee where I could pick up my paycheck since I seem to spend so much time there, got a blank stare....
Get home, re-build the 2nd upstairs toilet, look for more toilets up there, couldn't find any so I come downstairs and vow to never go up there again.
Then I begin thinking about the 2nd downstairs toilet, this is beginning to have a real dejavu feeling about it then I remember that about 3 or 4 years ago I did the same thing to all 4 toilets so I don't even bother to check the 4th toilet I just go back to Lowe's Highway Robbery and get the Fluidmaster, flapper and a new set of tank bolts. Do the job and finally make myself a drink and sit down.
Get to thinking, why in hell do we have 4 toilets and there's only 2 of us?? Can't come up with a good answer so I turn the water off to one upstairs and one downstairs. Just cut my future plumbing work by 50%.. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!
