I should probably start off by stating that in terms of home maintenance/repair skills, I am pretty much near the bottom of the heap. Anything much beyond changing a light bulb and I am pretty much worthless.
I was having a problem with the upstairs toilet not filling the tank. So I analyzed it, and figured out the culprit. I was having a huge problem figuring out how to attach the supply line (I think that’s the term) and was getting frustrated. Deb even stopped over, and she was perplexed, but she made a go of it. I left a message with my friend Jeff, who is terrifically handy, and just ditzed around with computer stuff until I could figure out what to do. There is a bathroom downstairs, so I was only inconvenienced.
I caught up on some geek stuff, and Jeff called back later. When I explained the problem in my own halting and lame fashion, he suggested just getting a flexible supply line. I had even walked past them in the hardware store, and didn’t make the connection.
So, thanks to my friends, I now have a repaired toilet and a modicum of self respect.
