10-Minute Home Repairs

From thefamilyhandyman.com


Flush without hang-ups


Yet another use for straws
Slipping a straw over the flapper chain greatly reduces
 your chances of having a running toilet.

By Adam Breen, a Field Editor from Phoenix. He and his father recently gutted and remodeled his entire house.

"Every time I get a new house or toilet, I take 10 minutes and cover the flapper chain with a plastic straw. I remove the chain from the arm attachment, and slide the straw over it, covering about two-thirds of the chain. I then reattach the chain to the arm. It’s that simple, and you’ll never have a running toilet caused by a kinked chain again."
