First Home Repair

One of the things I liked about renting was that when things broke I could just call the landlord. Depending on the landlord (I've had both good and terrible landlords) they'd come fix it. Ta-da!

Yesterday the thingie in the toilet which makes the toilet flush broke in half. Thanks to the help of YouTube, I figured out not only that this was called a toilet chain, but also how to replace it. I got a new toilet chain today and fixed it in about two minutes.

Go me!

I highly recommend YouTube, btw, when you don't know how to do something. Someone will have made a video about how to do it, probably several someones. It's great.

The information age is a wonder! YouTube has taught me how to replace a dryer element, change out a washer valve, and decide that I was going to pay someone else to install carpet.
