The plumbers came today to correct the leaky shutoff valve and replaced it. They also noted that the larger problem is that the toliet base has some wiggle to it. The floor in the bathroom is not level, as there is a rise in the concrete slab in the Norwest corner of the bathroom. Therefore, the toliet doesn't sit flat on the floor, and gives a little when you ascend the throne. The plumbers suggested that they lift the stool and reset it, replacing the wax ring and adding shims. And since the slight thrill of feeling like I might fall everytime I sat is gone, I agreed.
And my dad will be happy to know that, per our home inspector's suggestion, the plumbers also installed the drop tube on our water heater (though it may actually be called a t/p joint. Still haven't figured that out yet.)
