Good sign or bad?
Tonight I have a date with Alaska, the good looking outdoorsy musician I picked up on Valentine’s Day. We’re going to dinner at a hidden little Thai place with a garden patio covered in fairy lights, and then we’re going to hear some indie rock band.But last night I fell asleep reading my favorite home improvement manual, reading all the parts about different kinds of sinks and how to fix them if they leak (which mine does) and if they are missing handles (which mine is), and all the parts about the various other things in your bathroom that might drip and sputter and run when they shouldn’t (which mine do). And really? If it were up to me? If I hadn’t already said yes to Alaska? What I’d most want to do tonight is go home and take apart my toilet.

Good in your overall excitement level about your new house. Bad for Alaska in your overall excitement level about him. Especially bad if you are talking about taking apart the entire toilet (ie: removing it from the place where it sits in the bathroom, rather than just taking apart the tank) which is the single most god-awful home improvement task there is.
good sign = alaska wants to help you fix your toilet. bad sign = he's indifferent to your enthusiasm about fixing everything in your house. I say go on your date, make lots of references to how excited you are about your house, see if chemistry erupts from leaky faucet talk.
If you still aren't as interested in him as you are in your sink... well maybe you're so excited about your house you've forgotten about how boys are sometimes very fun. or maybe you just aren't that interested in him. is there someone else that you might rather be with than at home fixing your sink?
funny you should ask that, little bee.
yes there is. and he also asked me out tonight, and i'd rather hang out with him than with alaska or my toilet.
but i can't very well keep putting off other things for him, unless he has some sort of epiphany about his priorities. so i told him i was busy.
I think you should remove the asbestos (and possibly lead paint) from your house before you do anything else. I've been seeing commercials for mesothelioma lawsuits and they've been giving me anxiety nightmares.
Also, remove the water from the toilet tank before you move it (if you have to). You'd be surprised how many people skip this step, to their everlasting regret.
It sometimes helps to step away from a big project (especially one you are living in). And Thai food is good. I wish I was eating some right now. Mmmmmmm.
