Timely thread--I spent last night changing out the guts of the toilet tank in my back bathroom. You know that rubber stuff (gaskets, clapper) that looks so efficient when you first put it in? Give it a few years and it's like India Ink every time you touch it during the repair job. It leaked a little after I finished last night so I turned off the water again. Don't want the toilet taking a leak! I tightened it a bit more this morning (the new big rubber gasket is so big that the tank rocks a bit) and turned the water on. I'm ready to go back to check it for leaks now, and am positively flushed with pleasure at the thought of not paying megabucks to a plumber. If someone were to bash a batch of chicken bones they'd tear this commode apart. I hope yours continues to work, jOhn.
