Toiling w/ my Toilet ...
Posted: Wed Sep 09, 2009 2:20 pm
for them who remembers ,*I* am re-doing the "Fabulous Master Bath" ...
So, *today *I* grabbed all necessary tools, cloths, oils, etc and went to do battle w/ the dreaded "TWA-ALY" ... watertank came off cleanly ( after having been drained ) ... seat came off easily ...
THEN the funs began ... removed the -2- 'caps' ( filled w/ putty ) to reveal the -2- nuts & bolts ... -1- nut came off cleanly, tho slowly beccause of the putty) ... Nut #2 is the prob ... it will not unscrew from the bolt because the bolt turns, instead of being stationary ...
??? HOW *I* UNSCREW THE NUT ??? *I* was thimking abt hacksawing the bolt below the nut --- but, that would then leave MOI a bolt too short to re-use ...
??? MAYBE *I* otta just go to LOEWys or HOMEys ... or ---
??? can *I* buy a new bolt ???
??? can *I* buy a new flange assy ???
??? can *I* live in a REAL haus ???
