You can do it... we can help

Had an interesting night tonight.  Last night I replaced the float assembly in the toilet tank. In doing so, the old  metal pipe that was coming out of the wall which already had a kink in it got a worse kink.  In doing so, the old metal (probably original pipe from the 60s or 70s) got fatigue and started spraying water.

My thought was to get some JB Weld to try to seal the pipe.  So with some money in my pocket I headed out to the Home Depot.  The wonderful woman at the South Tulsa store talked me out of the weld and suggested that I try to replace the pipe with a new type mesh hose.  I was not sure that I had the skills but she talked me into it.  Well it took two trips to get all the parts needed, and a lot of help from my 14 year old daughter Annie, and it was after 10 when I was done, and it took a few disassembles and reassembles.  But we got it all done.  And afterwards we sat down to some Ice Cream and the first David Tennant  episode of Doctor Who.

I really could have used his screw driver thought.....
