Apr. 25th, 2011 11:01 pmThe toilet in the upstairs bathroom has been having some problems with running on for a while. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
catalana noticed it was misbehaving the other night while she was staying here and I monkeyed with the toilet a bit and pronounced it "fixed".
Wrong. By this evening, it was in serious running-on mode. So afterjeff_duntemann and Carol dropped by for dinner, I decided to replace the flush assembly. Fortunately, I'd already bought one for just this purpose.
Unfortunately, the connector from the valve to the toilet was being so singularly uncooperative that I ended up heading off to the hardware store for a replacement. It was the original one that was installed by the builder, so I guess it was due to go.
The toilet seems to be working correctly now.
And I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :)
