For a long time my boyfriend and I had a toilet issue.

The stupid thing would never flush.

You would push down on the handle and it felt flimsy and gross. My boyfriend isn’t all that handy of a guy. He told me we should call a plumber for a toilet repair. I didn’t feel it was a major plumbing issue. I knew it wasn’t the drainage or a piping concern. So I did some googling on my own. I then took off the toilet tank and was shocked at what I found. I figured inside there would be a ton of gears and parts. It is just a plug and flapper. That flapper is attached to a chain. That is about it. It was super basic. Online was really helpful too. I figured out that the chain was just too long and not allowing the plug to close. I shortened the chain and then everything worked perfectly. It flushed like normal and all my drainage was good. I then experienced issues with the toiler later on and ripped off the tank again. I realized my chain was too short and I got hooked on the plug. That was another concern all together. Shoerterning and lengthening the chain in the tilet is about all I have ever done plumbing wise. You would swear I am a licensed plumber though. My boyfriend is just amazed by my toilet skills. Now anytime something goes wrong with it he feels that I am on par with a plumber and will figure it out.
