Good evening all.
It's now official. My husband is nuts.
Tonight he decided to replace the inside bit of the toilet cistern (the thing that makes it flush) because it was filling really slow so he bought a replacement. All well and good except...........
First, he couldn't turn the stop tap off. My fault, of course, because there was too much under the sink. Emptied the half dozen or so items and, guess what, it was still stuck. After a bit of swearing and jiggery pokery he got the water turned off.
Next he replaced the thingymawotsit and asked me to stand at the side of the cistern to make sure it didn't leak - it didn't. Great.
Next was setting it so that the water level was right,
Chris come here. I did, he flushed the loo. It only half filled so he jiggled and screwed something.
Chris, watch now. I did, it filled too much.
I left him to it and went back to Corrie.
Chris come here. I did and it didn't fill enough again so I went back to watch Corrie.
Chris come here.
You get the drift.
Anyway, after much swearing from him and much frustration from me about keep getting up to watch a toilet cistern fill, or not as the case may be, instead of watching Corrie it is finally fixed. Yay
Nuts I tell ya. Completely bonkers
