Minor toilet repairs/trip with Billy to Home Depot/Cooper and I enjoy 'reward beverages' LOL

AAAAAH!!! The freakin' toilet broke. Who can live without a toilet? Normally I call maintenance, but, it's Sunday - and a very minor repair - and I can handle it. No pun intended :-D I remember the good old days when I helped with plumbing and electrical and construction, drywalling and roofing, putting in floors and carpets, etc, you name it. I really like being able to just "pick up the phone" these days, for the big repairs!

@jjra122 would you believe this is what started me on my redecorating? LOL It always starts out with something small like a minor repair, next thing I know I've redone about half my place now, half more to go

You know instead of spending money you can just leave the tank open and reach inside the tank to flush 'til the slow ass maintenace guy arrives lol! J/K

For real, great job fix it! I would do the same if I have too. BTW, is that a 1980s Briggs toilet? The other building at my apt. complex has the same ones from 1988.

@DaAnalogDogg86 haha! Very funny! I did that all morning and it got really annoying LOL especially after drinking half a pot of coffee, if you know what I mean. Well, this building was built in 1985, and yes it is a Briggs! It says "Briggs, CSA approved" that is Canadian Standards Association

Hey, thanks a million for the repair demonstration. I'll bear that one in mind for sure! Cheers to you and Cooper. Tina's coat is now as gorgeous as Cooper's. :-)

@75capriceconvertible My apt. building was built 10 years earlier and the bath has yellow tiles and fixtures except for the sink and vanity (it was replaced 5 years ago). I did a video of the toilet (Not original either, but still vintage and yellow).

@Gibrocks yes... a sense of humor gets us thru a lot of things. It's great. We keep each other laffing in my work place, helps the day go by. When I adopted Coop he was down to 26 lbs... then shot up to 31 lbs! I went a bit overboard. He is under vet supervision and on low calorie controlled food amounts, it works. He's at 28 lbs right now, and the doc says 27 would be ideal. Woo hoo! He is a little sweetie. And you should see the vet, he's pretty hot too

@75capriceconvertible Looks like you are someone with a wicked sense of humor, as I have! I know what you mean about taking your sex life "into your own hands". Trouble is, my hand seems to have a headache lately, and turns me down! I've never seen in your videos how much weight you want Cooper to lose. I would suppose that since he is such a large cat, that he realistically can't lose too much. He is a dear, though!

@Gibrocks oh this was nothing! And I was so relieved it was such a small repair. The music during the vid was "B Bumble and the Stingers" would you believe. I was also relieved this was not copyright infringement and ruin my whole vid :-D Hmmm. Yes I can certainly cook in the kitchen... as for the bedroom I have a great sex life. All I need now is a partner. hee!

@NEWbobofhollywood thanks for confirming that! So my memory was right... good to know. I used to really enjoy the cars we had in the 60s - we had a '58 Biscayne, then a '62 Impala then a '68 Impala. They just do not make anything remotely as nice ever since. My '75 convertible has needed paint job after paint job, and now it's been in shop for 2 yrs getting completely restored ground up. hugs back at ya! -B.B.
