Need to Vent

After trying to take out tank bolts from my toilet for over 3 hours and being unsuccessful due to excessive rust and the screw top chipping off, basically stripping it, the final solution was the almighty hacksaw.  This also took almost two hours though, because there wasn't room to manuever the handle, so it was a work glove and just the blade.  In the mean time, I had the urge to deuce and without another toilet I was afraid to go in the toilet for fear of further issues... thanks to Walmart shopping bags, garbage cans, and cold weather to throw it out into.

Well, after going multiple times to Menards to get the correct pieces and finding that the flush valve seal was the issue and not the tank bolts, I finally got it working without a leak after about 8 hours of labor.  The best part was, though, that my roommate decided to pound cocktails and be jonny expert the whole time, while not lending a hand, and not knowing what the hell he was talking about.  It wouldn't be so bad, but he pretends to know everything when he doesn't and do nothing to help.  If I didn't need his rent money to keep my house I swear I would have kicked the living shit out of him.  Especially when he decided to tell me that he knows how to do all this stuff, but just wanted to watch me, so I could learn on my own and then call his brother to make fun of how long it took.  Really?  It took over 4 hours of f'n around because the bolts were rusted and a few more hours of just screwing and unscrewing the tank because I was initially wrong about where the leak was coming from.  Like I wanted to saw bolts by hand for 2 hours.  Maybe lend a hand instead of playing the Wii and critiquing me you piece of shit.

There... better.
