Apr. 18th, 2006 09:26 amI'm thinking our house's watter supply might be cursed. That, or all the original parts have just gotten old. Probably the latter, but curses are more fun.
Remember the outside water spigot broke off? That took two days to repair, letting the glue set and everything. The fuckers who installed the thing, instead of using externally-threaded piping like normal people who realize it'll have to be repaired at some point, just used regular straight-shot shit and closed it all up with marine glue. We ended up having to glue a new section of pipe on. Fuckers.
Well, last night the kitchen faucet also decided to crap out. So, we go get a new faucet, get home, I start taking the thing apart.. and the same fuckers GLUED THE WATER LINE TO THE OLD FAUCET. What kind of stupid bullshit is that? We'll have to replace that pipe, too.
After I got home yesterday, I put fresh sand in the pool filter and reassembled the pump. The pool wasn't full enough to turn on until midnight last night, so I'm waiting to get home today to plug it all in. If *that* goes wonky, I'm gonna be annoyed.
Oh, and last night, sometime after midnight, somebody came to our house and stole plants. Yep, you heard me: stole houseplants. Dug them up and ran off with them. Who the hell is that desperate for caladiums? They're not even that interesting, it's just groundcover. They should have stolen tulips, or irises. Whatever. I wrote a sign calling houseplant thieves pitiful and posted it above where they were. That'll teach 'em. Right.
