I helped my step-sister and her husband with a toilet issue, the design of the toilet has the overflow tube as a large cylinder that's part of the flapper (the tube is therefore about 4" in diameter in the middle of the toilet tank). Something went wrong with the valve and it was siphoning water from the tank into the refill tube.
Normally that refill tube is clipped about 1" above the water line, but this just sat inside that cylinder below the water line.
@Tester101 I still think this tool (at 13 min in) is awesome and a heat gun might work.
I also installed a new faucet.
The only picture I took was when I was trying to see what type of thingamabob was holding the old faucet on.
This was just before I decided to rip the old drain out, because it was in my way.
So I fixed the drain sort of in the middle of installing a faucet.
Notice in the before and after, the hoses are different.
while i unload the cinder blocks from your truck, you can do mine like that :) (joking)
does my project really fall under gardening and landscaping? :( thought they were more for what kind of shrubs to plant at what time of the year type stuff

@lsiunsuex Sounds on topic to me.
Oh... I also removed the sink and toilet from my half bath.
Then painted, and installed a new toilet and vanity.
Don't have any "after" pictures though.
New toilet claims to be able to flush a bucket of golf balls in one flush, but I haven't tested it yet.
@lsiunsuex Hard landscaping is on topic, I was just giving you a hard time. Damn, now all the mods are jerks. Except Chris, he's still cool.
@Tester101 Yeah, I'd get on that right away.
I'm not a mod.
Hey, I'm not a jerk!

@Tester101 This is precisely the video I need my kids to watch.

the music is pretty great
They could replace "Will it blend?", with "Will it flush?"
