So yesterday after getting home from work I decided to just try tightening thing up in the toilet in case I missed something the first time around. Tightened the flapper valve fixture--it started leaking more. Dammit. Thinking about how much easier digging a hole for an outhouse would be than dealing with household plumbing, I untightened that. Trial and error, trial and error, tightened the wing nuts that hold the tank on as tight as I could without feeling like I'm going to crack the porcelain, and... this morning the tank was still full up! The foam rubber gasket must have compressed the first day as much as it could then, but not as much as it could now. So hopefully this will work now.
Just because it's easier to dig a hole doesn't mean it's fun.

Your no-outhouse outlook is out-and-out outstanding! If you were outdoors in an outpost for your "output" and outflow you would be outcast. That would be an outrage.
Sorry. That was a little outlandish.
Remember when building an outhouse don't go small. One hole is just inconvenient, Two holes are better, Four holes are exceptionally social!
