jeriendhal | When it rains it @#$%ing pours

So last wekk the powder room toliet jammed up, and being a thrifty minded sort I tried to plunger it, to no avail. So then I dropped some Roto-rooter enzyme cleaner down it, hoping that might unjam the leak. No good either.

So over the past few days I've been dithering about calling Roto-rooter, not wanting to spend $250 bucks. Except now it looks like I'm going to have to spend a lot more, because I go into the back of the basement to find the toilet's wax seal has given way, probably due to my over-vigorous plunging, and has been leaking for at least a couple of days. :( It's been going straight down the pipe so I don't think there's any floor damage, but's going to COST MONEY to fix the damned thing. Money which I don't really have except by running up more credit card debt.

The only out I may have is that replacing the seal is a relatively simple operation. I just have to have help pulling out the toilet and replacing it, since lifiting it won't be a one person job.

So, anyone in the Columbia/Baltimore area want to give me a hand this weekend and save me from putting even MORE in fucking debt?
