Well, re Rob, it’s just that this is an important thing for your well being/safety. You are paying rent, right? I am a landlord and I ask tenants to give me the rent on the 1st and I take care of them and give them good service and take care of their running toilets and make sure they are warm. They pay, I give them service. Simple.
You are paying, right? You deserve service. You should get it.

“What time is the Canada game, Biff?”
Very funny, BoHill.
But at least, since Canada sucks at soccer and most other things, I don’t have to worry about taking off the wrong day from work to watch them play.
🙂

Sounds like a *rob* move, doesn’t it?
Mostly I’m just annoyed you caught me b.s.ing.

“Rob, you frustrate me.”
Only just now? You have the patience of a saint!
Rob, you frustrate me.
I guess I am becoming like my mother and I don’t have enough people to worry about/nag, but I actually went
home last night thinking about your apartment going on
fire. So you talk to the super, he blows you off, and
you sit in the dark.
Please, talk to him again or contact the owner. What you
describe is dangerous.
Yeah, like Arkady said, you may just have to replace the flap. It will either slide off or come off of two protruding nibbs (tits, to get raunch hour started).
Arkady, thank you. And Rob, I am not recommending that the tenant take a leak in the sink.
Oh that’s good to know about Heather. I am very interested in investigating further the BID/City services for Fulton St. Trees would be nice. It looks so BAD around there. (the last time I opined on this topic I was slammed around by the What and some jerk on another blog).
Thank you Kens. Silly, but sometimes these little things can be intimidating, so I wind up calling someone and getting soaked. (I just hope I don’t soak myself 🙂
dona – It’s probably a tired flap. Very easy to fix yourself – be sure to buy a black replacement – the red ones aren’t as good. Turn off the water supply, take the lid off the tank, flush the toilet. You’ll see 2 little protrusions where the old flap attaches. Detach that & remove the chain. Replace w/ the new one & reattach the chain – you can’t be sure that the length needed is the same since some flaps are larger than others so try the chain at different lengths to see that it lifts high enough & lets go sufficiently to lower the flap on the hole. Turn on the water & flush once tank has filled. Replace lid.
July 17th would be perfect (or in fact any of the ones after that).
