The Daily Ping

Not a toilet in the country has not been affected by the Ping in one way or another.

Homeowner things you just won’t do

I’m about the least handy person on the planet, but there are a few things around the house that I can handle on my own. Painting, toilets, the simplest of simple repairs… but there are a few things that if something goes wrong, I won’t even attempt to fix. Anything involving electricity or wiring, for one (aside from safe things like replacing a thermostat or flipping switches on the circuit breaker). Anything involving our HVAC/hot water heater. Anything that involves being on the roof. Things that involve large spinning saws that could take off a limb.

What won’t you do? When will you always call someone else for help?

If I have clear directions to follow there isn’t much I won’t try (much to my wife’s dismay). In the last few months I’ve replaced a dead ballast in the overheard fluorescent light in the kitchen, and replaced a bad bearing in the dryer.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
