dude you have been working on that wooden toilet seat for a year or more eh
Or more........... It all started with a bathroom remodel with custom dark cherry cabinets and trim, that included a $175 dark cherry toilet seat to match.
Alas the custom hinge failed and I ordered a new one from a different source with a brass hinge, but the package was stolen from our front porch before I could install it.
The replacement lid hinge failed, so I replaced it with a universal brass toilet hinge, which failed as well, so I ordered a new hinge, which arrived missing one piece, thereby requiring that I order another one.
I installed the new one when it arrived and noted that the reason that they were failing was a poor original spacing and alignment. I therefore ordered another brass hinge and when the last one failed, I replaced it and realigned the hinges on the bottom of the seat itself.
Looks like **** on close inspection, because you can see the original set of hinge holes, but we will just have to live with that for those times the seat is up..............................................
