Bath Time

My first successful home repair!!! Here is a pictoral of me fixing the bath tub:

This is after I took it apart the first time! It removed it, cleaned it, tightened the nut around the fixture, applied some vasoline, and put it back together. The tub still won't hold water.

My old apartment didn't have a tub. I couldn't wait to have a nice tub to take a long, hot bath after work... Almost there...

I noticed that the linkage was short so I loosened the nut again and made it longer, then tightened it. I put the drain back together and crossed my fingers... Success! The tub held water! I didn't believe I actually fixed something, so I stood in the tub for about ten minutes, staring at the water level on my feet. The level didn't move! Later, I took my first my bubble bath in my new house!

Of course, I didn't just know how to do this. Even though I've watched my dad fix the tub a million times, I've never actually tried it myself. Check out hammerzone.com! It gave me pictures and step-by-step instructions on how to do this. It even told a few troubleshooting strategies for when something goes wrong!
