Liederkranz cheese is very efficient if applied that way, LB.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

I'm betting it has home security potential as well if applied to all exterior window and door frames.

Yes, all the wolves and coyotes attracted by the smell of old cheese will defend their treasure to the death.

Well beat me with a Murphy stick!  I honestly just signed all of the closing paperwork on the house like 5 hours ago and one of the can, commode, head, john, latrine, lavatory, outhouse, privy, throne, whatever the hell you want to call it is on the fritz.  Damn it all!  I'll need to do some googlefu and research to improve my fix the can, commode, head, john, latrine, lavatory, outhouse, privy, throne skillz.

Is it a reluctant exit problem or an unwanted return on your investment?

The tank is not refilling with water.

if jiggling the handle doesn't do the trick then you might have to replace the inner tank works. These days you can get the whole thing as a set. Cheap enuff at you local Lowes Depot.

Yeah.  I'm hoping for an easier solution, but I guess pulling out some toliet inners is just as fun as the fishing I was planning on doing tomorrow.  :)

Well the problem has resolved itself for the moment.  There is some coorelation between using the outside spigot to water the lawn and that particular can, commode, head, john, latrine, lavatory, outhouse, privy, throne.  The greater concern now it the water pressure and how to improve that I guess.

If you discover a way to improve water pressure please post it. I have been looking for that info for a decade.

Live under a waterfall.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

There is a waterfall about 1000 feet from my house, seriously.

Well, move 1000 feet and you'll have more water pressure.
