Okay. I've been a residential repair plumber for over 30 years, never knew this. HA! Every single video of hers I have watched so far; I learned something. This woman is a rockstar, people.

@isabelae.8743 2 года назад

Before this video, I have been replacing my toilet seat every few months. I had no idea there was a way to fix it. Thank you so much for the helpful videos! It's so important for us women to learn these life skills! You are awesome!

@chandraprevost6511 4 месяца назад

I watched 3 videos that told me the same thing I have always done, tighten the bolt. I appreciate your video so much, I am so tired of getting on the toilet and having the seat move, over and over again. Thank you so much. Now, the trick is to find it.

@racqueldillard2250 7 лет назад

Leah, I just want to thank you for your fantastic teaching ability (a lost art) and for empowering us with your wisdom, knowledge & encouragement! Thanks to you, I CAN do this!

@seejanedrill 7 лет назад

yes, you can, Racquel, and thanks for commenting!

@thebewitchinghour831 2 года назад

I am forever tightening my mom’s toilet seat for her. Not only does it move but it stays sideways as well. I’ll definitely look for this kit. Thank you as always!

This was just the repair I needed. Thank you for walking me through the steps.

I love how you assure and reassure that "you can do this!". Sharing your videos with my sister and anyone else who "does it themselves", because that's all they can afford to do! THANK YOU MANY TIMES OVER! We don't have to live with these annoyances, and we don't have to pay somebody $100 to fix them.

@stephenpetrie7576 8 лет назад

Wow Australian toilet seats attach very differently.We have no Philips head end on the bolt.Our bolts are either attached to the hinge or cam shaped heads that lock down in the seat so they can fit multiple size bases.Good vid, love that angle for the bottom of the bolt.

Just fixed mine...hallelujah!!! No more trying to balance in one place...thank you!!! 🙏☺😘💕

@moogie3111 5 лет назад

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I had forgotten how to remove this toilet seat, I wasn't sure if I was going to break it if I popped the top. There are soooo many toilets in my life that need this fix!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

@THEBLC79 8 месяцев назад

Thank you 🙏🏾

@bigbassmann 8 лет назад

Yet another great tip. I will certainly be buying one of those kits, never knew they existed until seeing your video. I have tightened and re-tightened toilet seat bolts more times than I care to think about. Thanks Leah.

@DJDevon3 8 лет назад

I really enjoy your videos. Your words are concise with a happy attitude. The only thing I don't like is many times it seems as if you are teaching a child. To a guy it's a little off putting but it does keep all of your videos female and kid friendly which is a demographic most youtubers don't cater to. I can respect that. It's like watching Mr.Rodgers do DIY repairs. Your extremely friendly and positive attitude have me as a subscriber. For some reason I feel happier after watching your videos. :)

@seejanedrill 8 лет назад

+DJDevon3 Hi DJ, I get what you are saying, and I appreciate the positive frame that you put it in. I'm glad you are here! :)

@bryant2165 8 лет назад

+DJDevon3 I agree with all that you say but I am a guy and find the teaching and simple presentation a help for allowing me to look at the fixes in a different light and it gives me new ideas and inspiration at times. It is for this reason that when I am doing a home or mechanical repair I talk it out with my wife when I am stymied or mental blocked even though she thinks she has no mechanical mind, (I disagree!), she can give me fresh insight to my problem and it is amazing how many times she comes up with great solutions and ideas.

@moogie3111 5 лет назад

Wow. I LOVE her voice, it's friendly and confident. It's a "you can do this, see, it's simple" voice. I'm subscribing, now.

@rananamc 8 лет назад

So glad this video came through my email. It never occurred to my husband and I that it was such an easy solution. He's at wits end on the verge of putting in a new toilet since he's struggled at our new house. We're homeowners for 15 plus years, & neither of us had experienced this before. Doh!

@JrMeRcEr100 4 года назад

Great teacher! (one detail - looking at your specific toilet seat, the cap is actually designed to release the seat via 'twisting the cap', not popping the cap off. NOTE: the top of your cap has a left/right arrow denoting remove/install directions. But if popping off the cap does not break any plastic - DOUBLE GOOD!)

@drajah1986 8 лет назад

@NancyTroutman 7 лет назад

Thank you for this video. I purchased the washer kit from Amazon and was able to do it myself. I also realized how simple it would be to install a new toilet seat.

@seejanedrill 7 лет назад

that's great, Nancy, glad it worked out!

@Laffingrl 8 лет назад

I had to adapt your instructions in order for it to work with my Ginsey kit plus a tip from another video to make it work. I had to insert the rubber washers on the inside top instead of from under the toilet bowl.

@Goonies-xh3qr Год назад

Thanks, I never knew these rubber washer kits existed! I was ready to risk breaking the porcelain tightening the problem bolt too much!

@LisyCO 10 месяцев назад

Unbelievable, I got tired of my toilet seat pinching me when it slid sometime, so I just spent $16 for a new toilet seat. And guess what, it did the same thing the old one did. So, I'm convinced this should do the trick. Wish I'd seen this first. Thank you so so so much. Genius!

I have this kit & installed it exactly like this. It held very tight for about a month. It then started getting looser & looser & now I’m right back where I started!

@theINQBS 9 месяцев назад

Ditch this crappy plastic SHIT! Get the hardware in stainless and get Nylock nuts and apply a little loctite and then you won’t be doing this again.

@esmeraldareal312 5 лет назад

Does this work on any kind of toilet seat such as plastic or wood? Apparently my apartment complex doesn’t know how to fix this problem because They’ve been up here twice. I love how you gave specific details for example, put the narrow side up!!! That kind of info is often left out of instructions!! Thank you!!

@derrickbarber9958 4 года назад

So how do you put the toilet nut back on then once you take it off of the tool when you're using it to tighten up the nut

@squirrelattackspidy 6 лет назад

hi Leah sorry to be a pain in the neck but this video is the closest I could get to my problem.have you done a video on how to replace a toilet siphon that won't flush. like I said sorry to be a pain.

@mukwah1111 8 лет назад

Fantastic! My house now has a good quality heavy toilet seat and I don't have the jiggling seat problem but it's good to know about this because I will be moving. It seems to me that when it's a lightweight cheap seat - it wobbles and jiggles. Thanks very much !
