Time to service the heads. Again.
We were going to do it yesterday, but managed to find a whole raft of excuses not to, including going to the Auckland Pride Parade, which was just faaaabulous. Sarah marched with her friends in the Spark float, as did our friends Diana and Sean with the Unconditional Love float.
Actual footage of me at the Auckland Pride Parade.
Anyway, where was I..? The port side head has not been sealing properly for some time, while
The time has come. And my cunning plan worked. With time the blockage in the starboard head has dissolved - phew! No need to open up pipes. However the reason the bowls have not been sealing is the massive amount of calcium buildup on the base of the bowls, which is weird because it has never built up that fast before. Too much dairy in the diet? ;-)
Anyway, must have pictures, so here's some shots of our crapper. Enjoy.

Ball-valve in base of toilet. Turned out to be slightly loose, which would not have helped it seal. |
New seal fitted over ball valve. |
Ready for action! Brace yourselves... |
