Garage
OK, that was too easy.

Sunday evening I noticed the toilet in the guest bathroom was filling just super slow, like over an hour to be ready to flush. So Monday at 10am or so I made a quick trip to the local Lowe's and got a new fill valve. Cheap and easy.

I knew I had to go pick up the prints and deliver them, and I did not want to face the toilet valve replacement and get my Polo shirt with the company logo on it sweaty, so I procrastinated.

Today I had the delivery to get done, and some bookkeeping to do, so I waited until this afternoon.

I went to the garage just once, and got my hand pump to drain the water from the tank, and one pair of channel lock pliers, and a old towel to sop up the drips. The valve was out and the new one in within 5 minutes. It was like a TV edited TV show and everything went as designed.

I am stunned. Normally when I do plumbing jobs it usually involves 5 or more trips to the store, half of my tool box, and a weekend to replace the toilet handle. I will keep a close eye on it but I think it is fixed. Amazing.
