Now - I am SMART enough and well-equipped enough to know HOW to handle this - but PLEASE LORD! throw me a bone! as if it's not enough that I am STILL single at 40, HOME repairs - again - not that a man would do this for me, even if there WERE one, but the timing... the pain... the WISH that I at least could call Pedro the Maintenance supervisor back at my old apartments....
This is the faulty piece of PVC, with the worn out something that is like a washer, maybe? The very young, barely able to shave, married male child at Lowes assured me replacing this woudl fix the problem. I was more than happy but still a little wary - especially since he couldn't find the right parts - but after searching high and low we DID locate the replacements, and for $2.08 I set off with my new purchases...
here it is, all fixed - and WORKING! Please ignore how filthy the rest of the pipes look - I don't know HOW they get like that.
You so totally rock! You have definitely made my top blogroll again!!!
ReplyDelete"The very young, barely able to shave, married male child at Lowes assured me replacing this would fix the problem." Loved that line!
That is so impressive! I think it would have cost you $208 if a plumber had done it. And, you should get around to prettying those pipes up. Some colorful paint, some stickers, maybe a ribbon.
ReplyDeleteYou SOOOOO impress me!! I want to learn how to do that kind of stuff! Don't you LOVE it?!
ReplyDeleteI WOULD love it if I didn't HAVE to do it because I was the only one in my home...
ReplyDeleteHey baby, I got a guy living here with me who is my main squeeze and it aint all it's cracked up to be when it comes to my house repairs.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!!!! I wouldn't have a clue what to do and my man moves a little slow at the repairs. Thank God I have my father to come over. I keep telling him he cannot ever die because I need my repair guy.
You are woman, hear you roar!
ReplyDeletedebbie - how do I get invited to your blog? you little blog snob... :)
ReplyDeleteWow Sohailah, some people make you get invited to their blogs? Who knew? So glad we are friends and no invitin' goin' on :)
ReplyDeleteHow much you want to bet we get bumped on Karen's list and have to get invited to be put back on, hahaha!??? She's such a turtle!
I am NOT a turtle!!! I am the QUEEN! Furthermore, Debbie didn't even have me on her Christmas list! (not exactly sure who she is--hahah)
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a great way to get an invite -- calling me names. No, really, I thought I fixed that and the whole world can now see my blog that only a grandparent could love. Lemme know if you still can't get in through my profile.
ReplyDeleteOh, Karen, Karen. As was always the case at ORU, I knew you but you didn't know me. I was a wallflower who watched all the popular people have fun while I studied all the time. But, send me your address and I'll get you out that C-mas card. And, Ginger, the people who send invites to their blogs are the ones who are way too self-conscious (that would be me).
ReplyDeleteOk, I think I fixed it this time. Try again, and welcome to my world. :) Oh, and Ginger, I've already been a secret reader of your blog. I'm glad to know your foot is getting better... and I hope to be added to your prayer book in days to come.
ReplyDeletewhat's this about a Christmas card? You sent out cards??? And how did Karen know? Oh - apparently she was invited to your blog ages ago - ok, I'm going out to check.
ReplyDeletewhat comments did I miss? I was out on Michelle's blog earlier today and YOURS I saw had basically NOTHING posted. I happen to be at work - Sheehan Pipeline. ANd I'm not ansewring phones - I have been given the task of re-writing/organizing their field office manual - yeah... and possibly putting it online... I am feeling overwhelmed and under-learned fro thejob - which is a GREAT place for me! I LOVE it!
