Flush

** Warning Bathroom Humor ** (just for Ky)

You can imagine what I think about every time I hear that word.

There is a town with that name here in Kansas. I smile every time I see the sign that reads: “Flush (arrow pointing)”. We will be passing this sign Thursday on our way to sing at Wamego. Some time I’ll have to visit it just to say that I was there.

So the toilet has been leaking since Christmas break. At least that is when we noticed it. Since it is in the upstairs (ground floor) bathroom, it is not really Jason’s or my problem. Since the downstairs is naturally below the upstairs, we (Jason and I) were the ones that found the leak and continually noticed the leak. For the guys upstairs, I guess the policy is flush and forget.

So after three weeks of this drip, drip, drip; Jason and I set out to find the problem. One of the bolts was not in the flange, so we cleaned the porcelain and the flange and replaced the wax ring. When we went to remount the toilet, it was not sitting very straight on the floor. So we attempted to tighten it to the flange and see how it works. Well, we have a broken, rusty, cast-iron flange and waiting on the plumber.

PS. Was not sure if I should post about such a topic, but that line was crossed last Sunday.

PPS. Feeling a lot better :)
