Ah, happy, inexorable decay! This morning my toilet broke, but by early afternoon, I had that bastard schooled. Thanks goes to the handy Dare to Repair: A Do-It-Herself Guide to Fixing (Almost) Anything in the Home.
I tip my hat to authors Julie Sussman and Stephanie Glakas-Tenet — and to the grizzled man at Kleindorfer’s who sold me a replacement Fluidmaster 400A fill valve seal for $1.39. I am especially pleased that the problem was not with my septic tank. . .
–S.
