Remember yesterday when I broke out the Corey Hart

by Tracy

If not, read this then come back

Good news, this morning they came and everything checked out so our gas is back on. Hooray for hot water and heat!

Bad news, I’m not exactly sure what happened but I think it’s because the water heater got turned to high, but there was a build up of pressure in the tank and the relief valve started leaking water. Good news, this prevented the tank from exploding.

How did I find this out? I was trying to fix the clogged garbage disposal and heard an ominous water sound from the basement and thought maybe the pipes were leaking again like they did last time the disposal got clogged.

NOPE.

I did figure out the problem and the leaking is almost all stopped now, just a trickle. It seems we might need to replace the valve now that it’s been engaged but it seems to be a cheap diy fix. THANK GOODNESS FOR SUMP PUMPS. And I did get the disposal unclogged.

Of course, while all this was going on, they that must never be unsupervised were unsupervised and got into the hot pink spackle wall fix-y stuff.

So I am sorry but I’m going to have to break out the big guns here

When the going gets tough, the tough say screw it and turn their living room into a dance party. Well, first they clean their kids, then they have a party.

    Oh dear. When it rains it pours, doesn’t it.

    Hang in there – and yes, you are definitely my hero for going through all of this WITH FOUR KIDS in the house.

    Oh man, I wish there was a Nanny on the Spot service to send you so you could go spend a few days in a hotel where everything works. Of course, I do worry, as bad luck streaks go, if you’d end up in a hotel where everything is broken.

    Seriously, hang in there. How many more things in that house could possibly break at this point?

    No, no, no, do not clean kids first before the party. You can clean everything again after now you have hot water again.
    Well, I always love a good ending, it makes me feel a lot better, thanks.
    That is selfish of course because I am sure it makes you feel a lot better too.

    I’m glad you have water and heat. I guess you’ll get used to the pink walls if it won’t come off.

    you are amazing woman….I have been there and done that….our hot water heater ruined the hardwood floors and took away bedrooms for 3 children during Chrismas Holiday …there is always something

    I loved “and those who must never be left unsupervised were unsupervised.” Those were the days….fortunately now my oldest two can fix most anything around the house and build furniture….good things come to those who train….:)

    Dance party now I never thought of that….
