Toilet Troubles

This is Jeff. He was woken on Saturday morning 2 weeks ago by children telling him the toilet didn't work. So poor Jeff tried to plunge the toilet for 10 minutes. When that didn't work he got out the pipe snake and worked at that for about 20 minutes. THEN he ended up disassembling the whole thing.

He then took it outside to find out what may or may not be blocking the flow of traffic, so to speak.


Here is the culprit:

HOW IN THE WORLD DOES ONE ACCIDENTALLY FLUSH THE LID TO AN AEROSOL CAN? How?!?! Why can't anyone tell me exactly how this happened?

After the mystery was solved, Jeff had to go to Home Depot to buy replacement bolts and a seal (or something, don't ask me) before he could put it all back together... sigh...

You know, my brother told me that somewhere in cyber space theres an entire blog dedicated to stuff that children have ruined of their parent's. I understand that anyone can post things. I may look in to that.

And that is how Jeff spent the first 2 hours of his Saturday morning. The End.

This is great! I can't wait to show it to Jon. Now he can know that he isn't alone in the world of crazy kids ruining your stuff.

I feel your pain! I took apart our toilet to find an ENORMOUS amount of toilet paper blocking the way. This was after it sat broken for a week! New bolts, wax seal (yes I am braggin' about my knowledge) and a stern lecture about putting toilet paper in for fun and we were good to go. Literally, go...

It reminds me of Clive having to do the same thing about 25 years ago. In our case, Spencer thought that flushing washcloths down the toilet was more fun than a barrel of monkeys. I wasn't at all thrilled when Clive sat the toilet on the FRONT porch while he worked. I definitely felt like white trash.
