Bought a new toilet for my master bathroom and Home Depot offered a free installation so I freaking let them! Camber kept stealing his flashlight. She loved flashlights and chasing the light like a cat and a laser pointer. The toilet is one of those new tech that use less water and will flush a bucket of ping pong balls. Not that I have ever needed to flush a bucket of ping pong balls.

Was having problems with the toilet in my guest bathroom. Was flushing real slow and kept having to replace the tank stuff. My brother replaced the toilet in his 3 year old house because the seat was too low for him and brought his old one over and offered to put it in. He brought one of this grandkids to teach him so I only got to watch. Glad I wasn't very involved, the flange coming up to the toilet had broken and had to be dug out and replaced.

That paid my brother back for helping him replace the sewer lines from his house to the mains when I was a teen. He had me helping him dig the line up by hand. After an hour I left and rented a backhoe. He even had a garage in his back yard so it all you had to do was open the gate and drive it in. Good thing I did because his pipes had collapsed where it goes down to the main and it had become an earthen cistern. Had to dig down thru that human muck to put in proper pipe. That was nasty.

It was kinda funny cause he thought I had left and bailed on him. When he came out and saw me playing with the back hoe, he took over and all I did was watch from then on. When he went to fill it back in a few days later after the city had inspected his connection to the main and he again was going to do it by hand. I showed up with the re-rented backhoe and got it done much faster.

My parents needed the sewer line orange byrd junk replaced the second time. Told some friends about having to rent a backhoe and replacing the line. One of the friends was a plumber and did it with pvc using his own backhoe in his off hours for a $20 bag. The house had and alley behind and beside the house. We routed it to the sewer in the alley beside instead of behind making it a LOT shorter and a lot less digging and pipe. 'There was some question of the legaiity of tapping into the sewer in a different location, so we covered it up real quick like without getting it inspected. We also avoided taking out the cherry tree Dad had planted right over the old line, most likely the cause of the collapse in the first place.
