Happiness is replacing the toilet water inlet valve without having to take a trip to the store.
Our valve quit working while I was gone (but it had been giving us notice for quite some time that the ghost was going). The water wouldn't shut off and would pour over into the tube, meaning that the tank was always filling. S had turned off the water to the toilet and called the property manager. Until he got around to sending someone out we would have to turn the water on to flush and immediately turn it off. And since his track record is, how shall I put this, less than stellar the situation could've gone on for days. After recuperating from the trip, this headed my list of things to get done.
I had replaced another assembley in the toilet bowl tank earlier in the year but the only way I could buy the part I needed was to purchase a kit. The kit included a bunch of extra stuff (extra for that job at least). One of the extras was exactly what I needed this time around.
The hardest part of the job was remembering where I left the kit.
