Good for you for sticking with it. When my wife and I were in France in 2017, we got an urgent text message along the lines of your charming comic strip from our 2 adult children at home. Hilary and Brian figured it out, though....
If you have smaller hardware stores near you, THOSE are the ones to go to for help and advice. The Depots and the Lowes seem to mostly hire people (esp. the HDs) that don't seem to know what they are doing.
Perhaps verging on TMI: the whole golf ball thing is what convinced us to buy one of these for our remodeled bathroom. Search YT for much longer This Old House video on the American Standard Toilet Testing Lab.
Absolutely cackled at the 75% open toilet lid. I hope the new wrench fixed it!
Yessss! I'm so glad. The new wrench did indeed fix it, although I have to again give credit to Tom <3

Oh this commercial is epic. 18 golf balls. 38 rubber tubes. 16 water wigglers. (But NOT 17...) Hats off.
I'll shut up now before I become "that toilet guy from the internet".
This was a very dramatic tale!
lol thank you Everett!
