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

I knew I had to meet some suppliers and some customers for my business and I did not want to face the toilet valve replacement and get my Polo shirt with my company logo on it sweaty, so I procrastinated, it can wait. We have two other toilets that work perfectly.

Today I had just one delivery and client to meet, and some bookkeeping to do, so I waited until this afternoon. I hate any plumbing work. 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 an 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. I expect to see unicorns and rainbows any minute. It must be my lucky day. A 5 minute project that only took 5 minutes. I almost feel cheated, but not really.
