So the toilet has been having problems the last few days. Plunging and snaking hasn't helped. So Matt decided it was time to pull up the toilet and see what the problem was. These projects are never as easy as they should be. The bolts and nuts were rusted together so Matt had to cut through the bolts to get the toilet up.
There is the toilet upside down in the tub.
And what is that orange colored thing that is in the hole causing all the trouble?
Ah. Of course. An orange. Everyone flushes oranges down the toilet.
Now to putting it back together. We can't just put the toilet back on because the parts are rusty. We have to remove the flange (or something) and it is glued stuck. Mendo mill doesn't carry the 75$ part to get it off so we will make do.
Matt looks so happy in this picture. He has been having kidney stone like pain for the last 4 days. It is so funny (not the kidney stone). It just looks like he couldn't be doing anything more fun. And he is in his church clothes.
ok so its not done yet. Our plan to "make do" didn't work so we will go to plan B. That requires an elbow joint and a trip to the store. We also need to go to costco for groceries. So there will be a short intermission. More to come.....

Your house hold is never dull. That is for sure! Who would have thought to flush an orange down the toilet? I guess who ever came up with that fun idea now has an idea of what happens when oranges try to go down toilets. So funny.
