I installed a tall, elongated 1.6 GPF toilet 8 years ago. *It works
fine....most of the time. *About every 100th or so flush, the bowl
fills with water from the tank but for whatever reason it doesn't go
down. *I stick a plunger in the bottom, pump it a couple of times and
VOILA! everything goes immediately down. *It's then good for the next
100 or so flushes. *This has been going on all the time I've had it..


The other toilet (which is nearer the main sewer) has never failed to
flush correctly, and no other drain in the house is backing up. *Any
ideas?


Got any kids- or have any ever been in your house? * * My most elusive
flush blocker was a rubber ball that sometimes got caught and
sometimes didn't. * * It wouldn't plunge through. *The way I found it
was by taking the toilet out and turning it upside down a couple
times.

Another excellent reason to ban children from houses. Seriously, though,
how does anyone put up with kids?


Just think of them as the lord's punishement for enjoying all that great
sex with your spouse. G


I'll take the great sex without the punishment, thanks. Instead of "mother's
day" I've celebrated "childfree day" on the anniversary of my tubal for the
past 26 years.


I'm sure you non-existent children would thank you.
By the way, have you disowned your parents for having YOU?
