Our friend Diane was recounting the story of when her husband Greg was out of town and the toilet was leaking all over the floor. I'm so impressed with Diane--she's my hero! Without even calling him, much less a plumber, she turned off the water, dismantled the toilet, lifted the vile, heavy thing and put it into the tub.
"Why did you put it in the tub, Diane?" interrupted my husband Steve.
"Where else would you put a toilet?" she smiled.
Continuing with her tale she tells of scraping the old crusty wax ring off the floor drain and replacing it with a fresh new one. (How did she know about 'wax rings'???) Then after hoisting the toidy out of the tub, she realized that the loud scraping sound she heard when putting it in the tub had done some pretty severe damage to the fiberglass. So her husband got home and had to replace the tub. But the toilet doesn't leak a drop!
