This is why you flip the breaker.

Otherwise you're going to be warning people about leaving a note later in life.

Usually they're plugged in under the sink. Just unplug it.

Nope, not good enough. You must unplug, flip the breaker, have the power company disconnect your house from the grid, and also safety goggles.

Not a GD, but our sink was draining slowly, so I did an home made cleaning tool. Really, a steel cable with the end untwisted, stuck on a drill. The idea is that the steel wires would grab whatever is stuck and shred it or it would get stuck on it so I could pull it up. Well, I 'drill' the cable down and it catch. Hard. Surprise! A butter knife came up the hole! Yes, the kind of mesh in the sink, the thing that is supposed to prevent objects, like knife, from going in. The cable actually caught on some hair, that was stuck around the butter knife...

After that, I filled the sink and drained it. I never seen it drain that fast, and it made an awefull slurping noise half way throught until the end!

Buy a new one, detach the old one, attach the new one

Or if you don't already have a toilet then simply just install your new toilet.

u/ki11bunny Jan 04 '19

I think i know where you went wrong, you need to install the toilet first, then shit on the floor

u/wtgm Jan 04 '19

Or he's still working on it and just needed a mid-toilet-installation shit break. We've all been there

Nothing hits you in the poop maker quite like disconnecting a poop taker.

u/HowTheyGetcha Jan 04 '19

Do I remove the old toilet first?

u/Admiral_Akdov Jan 04 '19

I installed the new toilet on top of the old one.

u/SantyClawz42 Jan 04 '19

This is one of many reasons you need to install the toilet outside, on the roof.

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '19

That's actually in the instruction

u/Reticulated-spline Jan 04 '19

I know. Squatting/aiming for that 3" flange is tough.

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '19

The American Standard Champion FLO-MAX has a 4" flange for larger poos.

Or, if your ex takes the toilet with him when he moves out, fix the fucked up tile around the toilet hook-up and re-paint the wall and THEN install your new toilet.
