The Ick Factor

Toilets are just icky. I am thankful that we do not use an outhouse or buckets but toilets are still just icky.

And do you know what makes toilets even more icky? Put them in an almost 100 year old bathroom in dire need of remodeling and then add to the bathroom traffic of 16 people with boys.

That is VERY ICKY!!


Story:

About three years ago our then toddler Joel decided to flush an Elmer's Glue bottle down the toilet. We had just a few months before shelled out over 800 dollars for a plumber visit for various issues (half of which he never really corrected) so we decided to just not address the glue bottle in the toilet thing. God can do glue bottle in the toilet miracles, can't he?

About a zillion toilet over-flows and a damaged ceiling later Jeff did a little research and decided to tackle the glue bottle thing himself.

The pictures:

Blah!!



Jeff working hard to pull out that glue bottle.



I can not boast of a brand new toilet because Jeff just reinstalled the old toilet but we now have a toilet that we can flush without it over-flowing!!

Jeff you ROCK!!

and

now we can flush!!

Warmly,A Patchwork Mommy

Foot Note- Jeff did clean and bleach the floor and walls before he reinstalled the toilet. What a guy. Thanks Jeff!
