Flamin' toilet...

I jave just spent the better part of an hour battling against our toilet's flusher. It's stopped working a few days ago and I was too lazy to fix it right away. Instead, I just cut the water flow off from going to the toilet further. Had to use the pail to clean up and stuff. :P I finally took the effort to check it earlier and found what's wrong with it. The entire valve tank kit is busted so the water's just dripping uselessly. So I hurried over to the D.I.Y. store and bought the kit to replace the whole thing. Just so you know, the whole kit costs around PhP1,500 now. -___-;; oh well. When I got back from my errand, I went over to the toilet to fix it. I'm no plumber so I spent a small amount of time figuring out which goes where and what. It's pretty straight forward but I wasn't to confident with my plumbing skills. Hehe! Finally found the courage to try and fix it. I took out the old flushing disk, the flush lever and the vertical cylinder that holds the "water-stopper" and replaced it with the new one. Everything seems to be going fine until I tested my work. Sad to say, it didn't work. NOT because of something I did wrong or something I installed there by mistake, but because the hose that was supposed to supply water up to the cistern decided it is time for it to retire as well! Damn. It frustrated the heck out of me so I decided to blog about it after I cleaned up, so here I am. For now, I shall take my leave of the flushing mechanism and I'll battle with it another day.


Mood: flushed. *ahem*
