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 shit 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..............................................
