As I have managed to locate energy after two days of muddling through on poor nights' sleeps, I decided to tackle my toilet tank once again. Last week, through a series of events, I converted my tank from a regular to dual-flush. Except that it wasn't flushing properly.

After playing around with different setttings, I still couldn't get it to flush consistently. The tank just didn't like the bowl.

So I decided to switch the tank with the one from my downstairs toilet. It would be back to a regular-flush toilet, but I really just wanted one that worked properly, regular-flush or not.

So after draining, screwing and unscrewing, lifting, transferring, leak-testing, and re-installing, I am happy to announce that not only did I successfully re-install both toilet tanks on their counterpart bowls*, BUT the dual-flush toilet actually works on the bowl downstairs! It is a slightly different shape than the upstairs bowl, and whatever the effect that has, it seems to be enough to make for successful flushes all around!

I tell ya, the satisfaction is immense. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to use the loo...

*Truth be told, there is a very, very, very small leak coming from one of the bolts holding the tank to the bowl. The rubber lost a bit of seal in the transfer, it seems. That being said, it is issuing only a single drop of water every 20 minutes or so. I might have enough water in the morning to water my plant. Thus, I can wait to pick up some new bolts on the weekend and pop them in. No big deal. :)
