One of those days, when the toilets are controlling your life. I have bad experiences with leaky toilets. My old apartment had that problem and now the new apartment is ALSO having that problem. The good news is that it’s finally fixed. Plumber came this afternoon and said that the toilet valve is broken. I didn’t know a plastic toilet valve would cost 200 bucks. He told me that if i wanted to to buy back the branded toilet valve it would cost 200+ and it’s is the same plastic thing that does the job. I choose the 200 dollars valve that still does the job. Hmm… did i get rip off?. I probably did. Unless i have a plumber friend or anyone that knows how to change it, like what the dude said, it’s “market price”.

In case you don’t know what’s a toilet valve, it is the thing that is inside your toilet bowl that pumps the water up when you flush, which is connected to the flusher. I didn’t take a picture of it cause i ask them to throw it away and my toilet bowl is one of those that’s lock with the flusher. My flusher is one of those press down and it locks the lid on top. Explaning it seems like it’s a lot of work.

Leaky toilets is a lot of hassle. The latest one i’ve experience which is mushroom growing in my bathroom. That’s something enriching. It made me research about it. Also make the toilet wet and dirty at all times. I’m a pretty clean person, that is just disturbing. Imagining when you walk into the toilet and stepping on a puddle of water, ewww!. I guess the water is not dirty but after awhile sitting at your tiles or whatever that’s in your bathroom, you get the picture. I hope the new valve does the job and everything would be back to normal.

Till next time…
