Yet again the Toilet Of Doom foils my plans - I replaced the fill valve, and the inlet pipe started leaking due to being sealed with some dried-up cruddy putty instead of, as it should be, a washer. Aside from which, the shutoff valve leaks anyway, when closed, which means the whole inlet pipe should probably be replaced, which involves all sorts of extra silliness. Since we need a plumber anyway, to put a proper shutoff on the hot water supply, I've decided to give up on repairing the toilet myself, and have the to-be-summoned plumber replace a whole bunch of leaking shutoff valves while he's here. My decision to not summon the plumber until after I had fiddled with the toilet repairing is, at last, revealed to have been a good one. In other news, poison ivy and little bastards. Soon, soon all these things will be fixed.
