I fixed my broken toilet flapper!

For the last three days we had to reach our hands into the water and manually lift up the flapper thingy to flush the toilet. Repulsive. So being the man of the house (ha ha), I took it upon myself to remedy things.

I went to Canadian Tire and the little flapper thing was $9.50! To buy the whole apparatus (the “overflow tube”, “valve set”, blah blah blah) was $10.00. I didn’t understand. Anyway. At least we do not have to put our hands in the toilet to flush it anymore. Celebration.

This thirty day adventure you have me on is making all sorts of bizarre ads pop up on this site. So for now on the V word will be “Operation V Word” ha ha ha. I think if I write six more posts they will disappear… which is good.

I should probably saturate this post with words like backpacking and adventure travel. But I wouldn’t want to do that… so when I get close to my travel date I’ll start dropping the backpacking bomb, maybe throw in hostel, Europe, and Australia too.
