Ten minute job

Those do it yourself jobs get away from you.

I will give you an example.

Toilet needs the float valve replaced,

 and honestly,

   it should be simple.

You realize this is going downhill.

All I should have to do is turn one little piece of plastic.

No.

Whoever installed the valve put in that little extra turn.

Just for more perspective,

 for whatever reason,

   the bathroom has no medicine cabinet.

Why should that matter?

They installed a cabinet surrounding the toilet.

So much for any room to work.

Add to the fact the room is only 5 by 8.

I am 6 plus.

I give in,

 and go with the easy method.

I clear everything out,

  which includes dismounting the flipping cabinet surrounding the toilet.

Now,

  I can finally get at that little piece of plastic.

Using a pair of pliers,

  I am able to get it almost off of the thread.

Now,

  I am thinking this thing is just refusing to go away.

Drastic measures are required.

  Hacksaw is put to use.

Ten minutes later,

  the new valve has been installed.

I have to be honest.

 I will share a touch of misery.

Look at my niece,

 and smile.

"Since the room is clear,

 you know your grandmother will want it cleaned."
