Uh-Oh Toilet!

So I have a bad history with breaking toilets. I broke Andy and Abby's toilet seat while I was there a year and a half ago then last week I went to sit on ours and it almost fell through the floor. Now I know I'm a bit heavy but come on!

Aaron was already putting in another toilet and he asked me to flush to make sure everything was alright and then water was shooting out from the pipe. He took apart the toilet and this is what he found. There is not supposed to be a big hole in the pipe here. It had nasty TP and a plastic bag stuck in it. He also found that the leaking fluids have rotted our solid wood floor and now it all has to be replaced and that's why the toilet fell though. We don't have the money to replace it all so he built a platform for the toilet and put it all back together and we hope we don't fall in before we can get it all fixed up.

  1. Ahh if only we could have seen this one. You know I know it is not a weight thing...you just have amazing luck with toilets. Maybe a port-a-potty would be a safer way to go. Ha. Love you.
