I broke my toilet last night. |

I know, you'd expect this entry from Colonel "Shitimus Maximus" Skills before anyone else, and yet...
Well, my toilet had been running constantly for the last week or so, so I open up the tank to investigate. I note that the valve is open, due to the float arm not rising high enough to close the valve. Obviously the overflow pipe had been reached already, hence the water not rising enough to lift the float arm higher. I decide to bend the float arm down so that the float is lower and thus less water is require to close the valve. Snapped the METAL float arm in half. Uh oh.
Seven dollars later, I have a new valve assembly and have fixed the problem successfully. Yeah that's right, I fixed something around the house. I am now a man.
