Greetings! This week I am sharing with you how I fixed the leaky flapper valve in our main bathroom. This is the bathroom that the kids mainly use. It gets a lot of use. However, like I said in the video, one of the biggest water wasters in your house, aside from your teenage daughters, is your toilet. You must be vigilant to make sure that you are not wasting and a loose flapper valve can be a culprit when it comes to having your money and your water go down the drain.
This is a fairly easy fix and can be done by anyone. Make sure to turn off your water first, behind the toilet if you have that capability and then drain the tank by flushing, then it is just a matter of taking off the old valve and putting on a new one which does not really even involve any tools except the best ones you have, your hands! Oh, and a beer (wink)!
I hope this gives you the confidence and the know how to make this fix for yourself or even just check to see if your tank has a leak. It will save you money in the end and that is always a good thing!
Have a Handy Week!

I went to a night club/bar in mid Michigan that sold 40 oz glass Mickey's! Lol...
I appreciate your get-to-the-point, concise explanation because I watch 2 or 3 instructional vids to absorb the info I need to know, and I find everyone's is slightly different. I get it about water wasters. Trust me---it will stop when your daughters will have to pay their own water bills. I don't drink so I don't know alcohol brands but I do like the bottle's unique shape--like a barrel.
Mickeys hand grenades
I was hoping you tried the original one again after it was cleaned off to see if that was the problem.
I used to drink Mickey's back in the day great beer
I can vouche for Mickeys beer , that’s what we drank in the 90s, the 64oz were my preferred choice. Lol
Thank you very much for your help, but I could really care less About your beer. :)
