My toilet sprung a leak! I am not a fixit kind of gal. I can maybe fix basic computer issues on a PC (sorry mac users...YOYO) But to do something that is like...handy...well I am not Rosie! But I also don't have $55 to fish out so someone can come in and fix it in 5 minutes. So I was chatting away with my mom telling her that the tank appeared to be leaking from the side. She said to turn off the water and flush the toilet. Check. I couldn't see anything that would indicate a leak, and I don't care if it is the tank water, it is still part of a TOILET! I am not a toilet touchin' gal.
I am getting frustrated by the whole thing! I can't afford a house call! So whatever inspired me to do it, I turned the water back on, flushed and watched the tank fill up...
It's amazing what we can do. Have you ever amazed yourself?

Yay! Nice work! And doesn't it feel good to not have to give money to someone.
Awesome job. And yes so not worth paying someone $55 to do that.
You do , California Girl! That is awesome!
You are AWESOME!!!! Great job Lourie!!! Its so funny what we as women can do when we have to. I always thought I would never caulk a bathtub, but when we needed it, I picked up the caulk stuff from home depot and got to work learning how! and when I messed it up horribly the first time, I went right back into the bathroom and undid it and redid it again! :) go us women!
Wow, look at YOU!! You're like Supermom, you do it all. Way to go girl. :)
LOL *CLAPS*
I'm impressed! I can't and don't fix anything.
Great job!!! I actually have that book and I like it! I know I've done a few things out of there, but for the life of me I can't recall what right now!
Yay Lourie! I fixed the flapper in my toilet a year ago and felt the same type of proud that you did. We are simply amazing aren't we?
I think this is wonderful. I do most of the repairs around the house because Alex gets so caught up in the manual and or on line information about it that it never gets done!
Okay, now I think we need to start a plumbing company together. What do you think?
High Five!
My hubby and I worked on my silly van door today, and our leaky fridge. Oh that's right, you haven't heard about THAT yet. Teehee!
I have replaced the flapper in my toilet, and done numerous fix-its that I shouldn't have had to, so I can relate!!
There's no words to describe the feeling of fixing something on your own. Cheers!
You go sister!
