Engineers
I have a love and hate relationship with people who call
themselves "engineers".....Granted they have built large
building and bridges, which stay up.....The History Channel
has a series regarding their mistakes.....
They are told to construct or design every day appliances
and the like.....But when cutting costs some of the most
durable, stable, "always worked" items start to fail.....From
"over design"......
The modern toilet is becoming one of them....Simple, let water
in and shut it of at a specific point.....Then let the water exit
and shut it off at a specific point.....If you are fortunate to have
a home town Saturday radio "handyman" question and answer
show, just mention a toilet problem and the "handyman" can
fill two hours of talk.....Toilets that squeak, or leak, or flush
by themselves.....Don't fill, overfill, underfill.....It goes on.....
Come on engineers, you can do it.....Make it work.....Pumps
