It was loose when we moved in, and broke completely a couple of weeks later.
I looked up a video on YouTube how to fix it, and after initially thinking the hinges only came with an entire new seat, found that you could order a “fixing kit” which had all of the essential parts seen in the video.
The result is satisfactory.
A toilet needing fixed ought to be included in some kind of universalist core moment of existence theory.
We won’t all build a deck, but everyone with the privilege of using a toilet is someday going to need a toilet to be fixed.
I have found fixing a toilet to be a slow but relatively simple job, which let my thoughts wander…perhaps too far, honestly.
