So, last night around 5:30AM I'm woken up by a loud *craaack*, followed by
|
|
one of the most dreaded sounds a homeowner ever hears: vast quantities of
|
|
water spilling onto the floor. The water is coming from the bathroom, the
|
|
toilet specifically. Turns out the water cistern on the top of the toilet
|
|
had cracked down the side, and was spilling out all the water.
|
|
|
|
So, after shutting off the water and mopping up, I was left to ponder what
|
|
are the odds of having mechanical failure of a large rectangular porcelain
|
|
bowl, in the absence of any visible stressors (like someone striking it with
|
|
a sledgehammer)? We hadn't done anything unusual to the toilet in the recent
|
|
past -- just normal use. I've *never* heard of this happening to anyone I
|
|
know. The guts, yeah, they fail all the time. But the storage bowl -- never.
|
|
|
|
Geesh.
|
|
