Our guest toilet had little weep around the floor - I figured I would change the wax ring.
At 9 AM - I went to Lowes for a $2 wax ring. I also bought a small hack saw to cut the bolts.
I took my time carefully cutting the bolts - making sure I would not scratch the porcelain on the toilet. It is only 6 years old. After the bolts were cut - I then leaned the toilet over against the shelf to change the wax ring. While I was unwrapping the wax ring - SMASH - the toilet fell on the floor and smashed into a million tiny sharp pieces! What a mess.
While cleaning up - I cut the tip of my index finger - and was bleeding like a pig. Lulu bandaged me up and I was off to Lowes for a second trip to buy a new toilet. I sent a picture home to Lulu for her approval of the new one. The new toilet was $200.
I drove home from Lowes with the new toilet behind. I came home to Joan’s Mercedes in the driveway. Joan thought the hole in the bathroom floor was a new China-style toilet.
I installed the toilet - making sure the ring was placed correctly - I did not want to remove it again.
Not a good start - of the day after FSU lost its home opener 16-13. I planned to cut the grass before Joan came - it will have to wait until tomorrow.
I took my bath at 4PM - Lulu bandaged my fingers up. I smashed up the toilet with a hammer and put it in the dumpster for Monday garbage.
