see, i'm not a DIYer and proud of it. i wish i was mechanically inclined, but i'm not. my dad is and it amazes me. I tried, but just screwed things up. Then i found the liberating feeling of just paying someone else to do anything i don't feel like doing. here's my logic. If I can hire someone who makes less per hour than I do to do a job I don't want to do then everyone wins. He gets paid, I get to not spend my time doing it, and the job gets done right.

That being said, I did a complete top to bottom remodel on a house last year and I can say in all honesty that you can safely replace the waxie in about 20 minutes with very few complications.

Yeah...I'm concerned too. And I just posted my face....I mean...I thought we were all husband stealing whores, and come to find out it's just one of us.

Shocking.

:D

Hey, I'm done. All happy now.

It took 2.5 hours if you count the trip to the store and the clean up. It's a bit more difficult than a straightforward job since the pipes are old cast iron, and the flange isn't quite level. Total cost $5.19 plus maybe $1 in gas/mileage. And I figured out the toilet leaked where the manufacture date is right in the area where the wax ring goes. Makes for a rough surface where you want a smooth one. The wax hadn't filled the depression well, and that's where it leaked. I smeared it in there this time, so I hope it will last. If not, next time I'll buy a different toilet.

good work glatt. Now can we not hear anything more about your toilet please? lol

glatt - is it a low-flow toilet (1 gpf or less)? If not, that would be another reason to replace it.

(Sorry Ali.)

geez you two...get a room for christ sake. lol

A bathroom?

YES! FFS!!!

Well, at least I didn't say it was moist.

Ooooh....moist (not the toilet not the toilet not the toilet)!

I like that word.

piles

Ooooh...and piles! don't sit on the cellar chat room floor or you'll get 'em.

Oh gosh, I didn't know...

Are you 100% sure it is irreversible? Because as I'm sure they told you, wigs can be cut. Perhaps they can cut the damage into a funky new style?

How much do now wigs go for anyway? Do they have to be individually measured? We could start a "TMI" thread again - I know my eyeball statistics courtesy of having contact lenses tests.

C'mon Bri, you're the only wig-wearer here, lets have some wiggy stories.

my wig cost 140 dollars....they do measure your head for fit and some caps stretch for larger heads.

maybe it can be fixed. we'll see. the lady who helped me with it said it could be 'steamed' to fix it---whatever that entails.
