Well, I'll never forget this Valentine's Day...

[Modem Butterfly]

It all started about 7 this morning. Will is partially deaf, and sometimes what he hears isn't what's exactly happening. He told me that he heard a strange hissing noise from the kitchen. Could it be rain? No, in fact, what he was hearing was a pin-hole leak in the cold water pipes.

I got a bouquet of 40 multi-colored tulips, a potted hyacinth, and a box of chocolates from Will, but I'll always remember this Valentine's Day for the $200 repair bill we got from the plumber.

2. Think positive

At least you found it before it was much worse, and much more expensive!

[EstimatedProphet]

3. Well, that does indeed suck

Sorry it couldn't have happened tomorrow or something.

4. I guess it's good it wasn't over the weekend, or 10 PM at night

Will stayed home to deal with it, but I had to leave work for a couple of hours and go home too.

5. Shocked homeowner to plumber upon seeing bill for late-night repair:

"My God! I'm a heart surgeon and I don't make this kind of money."

Plumber: "Yeah, when I was a heart surgeon I didn't either."

6. You must have old pipes. Leaks happen.

:eyes:

Will sounds very thoughtful, though. :D

9. We got rats

Furry little verminous bastards MUST DIE NOW!


YEEEAAARRRGGGHHHH!

I thought we got rid of them, but clearly stronger measures are needed.

7. Well look on the bright side, you got some nice flowers

and that plumbing problem could have been much worse. when my house was built the plumber "forgot" to put a wax ring in before he installed the toilet---you can only imagine the damage.

8. Jesus Christ! I hope it was a ground floor bathroom!

And might I add YIKES!

[AlCzervik]

11. of course it wasn't because it was my house

anybody else's house it would have been on the ground floor. the bathroom in question is directly above the laundry room and the closet that moster's live in under the the stairs. So the laundry room walls and ceilings along with the closets had to be ripped out, i also had my hvac system scrubbed down as well. did i mention this was all going on 1 week before Christmas?

12. Wow man

I feel for you, I really do. I hope you were able to sue that bastard out of business, or at least piss on his car door handles at night when no one was looking...

14. it was fixed by the homebuilder, i never should have

bought another tract home, when you slap up like 6 houses in a month quality is going to go downhill.

10. Ouch!

But my what a lot of goodies!

Mmmmmm... chocolate. :9

[Modem Butterfly]

13. Yeah, he's a keeper
