Sunday, I replace the "flapper" in the downstairs toilet. Some months ago, it had occurred to me that my water bills hadn't gone down significantly since Jake and Carla moved out. I checked the bills, and the water amount was just about the same. I then checked everywhere for a leak, but couldn't spot one. Hmmm...
Then one day a couple of weeks ago, I was ironing downstairs without the radio or TV on, and I heard the downstairs bathroom toilet filling up as though someone had flushed it. Hmmm... Strange, as its rarely used by anybody.
As a test, I shut the water off to the toilet. Couldn't see a leak. Couldn't hear a leak. But, when I went back a couple hours later, the toilet tank was empty!!!
So, Sunday I took off the old flapper and went to Murray's. I lucked out as they carried that exact brand, so I didn't have to buy a "universal" one and make it fit.
Another problem solved!
