taking apart toilets and changing the wax ring
I really hate the last day of vacation I have successfully combined these two things that I hate the most |

+1 - me too!!
Plumbing in general sucks. YMMV Edited to add: Last time: Two (2) flange repair kits (1 piece did not work - toilet too high - found out after all assembled (Of course!)). Two wax rings - had to pull toilet twice. Four trips to hardware stores - City Mill (local HI store) and Home Depot. About $20 in unusable parts and hoses. When finally fixed - myself, tools, toilet & floor covered with sticky layer of wax. Tired & sore, sweaty, dirty, waxy - absolutely miserable.  Next time I'll call the plumber & use the backyard while waiting - I have shovels & e-tools.

I'm am officially halfway through = it's all apart and I have the pieces to repair it.
spent a good hour getting one of the bolts from seat to tank off little bitch would not come loose and I had to hacksaw it at an odd angle. Broke the flush handle in the process - just got back from home depot. It should go back together easier. |
. Just try finding a new wax ring at 10:00 PM on new years eve. Politeness restrains me from saying WHY I had to take it apart
