I Feel So Manly
Gosh, my first (minor) plumbing repair. My toilet was running and running for the last 20 minutes, and jiggling the handle (my usual method of fixing the problem) just wasn't working. So I decided to see if I could fix the problem. I took the top off the tank and discovered there were a couple of loose screws on the thing connecting the big black ball to the other thing (the other thing is apparently what controls the flow of water into the tank). Whipping out my trusty screwdriver, I tightened those bad boys just a bit. No more running toilet. And yes, it still flushes.
How do you like my knowledge of technical plumbing terms too. Big black ball. The other thing. Yeah.

Yeah, like whatever! The ball in my toilet is gray and nasty. ~imagine this done ala Valley Girl~ OK, it was truly funnier in my brain.
