In Nanaimo we are on a water meter so we noticed when our water consumption climbed. A valve inside one of the toilet tanks was leaking and the water was running all the time. I also noticed a small crack in the bottom of the tank. I decided to replace the whole toilet and while we were at it we would switch to one of the new dual flush toilets that use a fraction of the water the older toilets
use.
I estimated that I could do the job in a couple hours at the most. So, off we go to Rona's to buy a new toilet. No problem there.
It took about an hour to empty the old toilet an remove it. Cleaning up and changing the floor flange
took another three hours. Preparing the new toilet for installation took another two hours. Installing the new toilet and finishing the job took a further two hours.
The only reason I took on this job was that about twenty years ago I changed a toilet and it took about two hours(everything went perfectly) and I thought I could do it again. I probably couldn't get a job as a plumber......and I wouldn't want one. Next time we call a plumber.
