Really. When you do your own repair, you get to be quirky:
1952 toilet (the date of manufacture is stamped inside the tank), 2010 push button. Fun, no?
I did this repair a couple of years ago, but decided that I’d post it, just to round out the recent plumbing series.

Well, yeah, I did. The Internet’s a strange place.
Still AWOL over here, I’m afraid. Various projects have left our house a disaster (and will continue to do so for another couple of weeks), and I’ve spent a week in New York City in the meantime (can you blame me??). But I’m back just for this post because the website Jezebel (weirdly!) has what looks like a great tutorial on making a dress form.
Today’s post is only part one, with part two promised for next week. Except for the time involved, this looks surprisingly “doable”, and should result in a dummy that replicates your shape better than anything you could reasonably buy (or make via other methods), and with what I hope is a sturdy foam core. I’m seriously tempted to try it, just as soon as I have fifteen hours to myself. Oh, and a house again.
