Youtube is banned in China. :w00t:

I can watch Youtube with no problem in HK.  China has its own version of video sharing network (I think there are a couple in fact).  Pretty sure the household fixing stuff isn't banned  :P

I'll either have to glue it to the wall, or hire someone to do it.  The first option isn't desirable because it will fall off quite easily.  I have zero confidence in my ability to screw holes in ceramic tiles without damaging them.  As a matter of fact I don't have any tools to do that.

You Tube is your friend doing simple household shit like that.

Use the CdM option then.

I just spent US$65 to hire someone to clear two clogged sinks.  My wife and I tried a variety of ways to fix them without success.  I wish I knew how to do this myself  :Embarrass:

There is no way I have that much space in the toilet.

Was the sink it self clogged? (wall to sink drain.) Normally it's in the "j"-tube or some people call it a trap. That's easy to fix.

Or was it further back in, where the pipes enter the wall?

Just sit the toilet paper on the counter.  It's right there.

Especially since the one built into the wall is always too fucking low so you have to bend your knees and side to grab it and then still yank twice what you need.

I have no idea.  All I know is that water is going down the drain at an unsatisfactory speed.

No, you'd have to stand up and walk a few feet to  the counter. 

If I have to ask about using a stud or an anchor I sure as hell am not gonna be sawing through drywall for a recessed holder.
PDH!

Your shitter isn't near the sink counter? What do you do, play racquetball in there?

If you don't want to have to turn around to grab it off the tank, can you at least leave it on the edge of the tub?
