I hate plumbing.
The way I feel about plumbing is known to just about every body I know. It is also known to a number of complete strangers, because I will walk up to someone I've never seen before and say, by way of introduction, "I hate plumbing."
The lodge has 5 showers, 3 claw-foot tubs, 13 toilets and about 20 sinks. And they are all old. And they all break/leak/hate me.
And now, for whatever reason we have taken on another property with another 10 showers/toilets/sinks that are even older and freeze every winter and need fixing.
I now have most of the plumbing in the cabins working, just in time to drain the water and blow out the lines for winter later this week.
I was upstairs in the lodge an hour or so ago, working on a toilet that started leaking from the tank-bowl connection, when I had a thought. Plumbing is God's punishment for us eating the apple. "Okay" he said "Now that you have eaten it, this too shall pass. And when it does, things will clog."
I hate plumbing.

Good one! My husband said last night, "What God hath given thou, the toilet shall taketh away." It had a whole different meaning, in your case. My husband just spent the past week troubleshooting an electrical short that brought down our drip system and outdoor lighting. Fun, fun, fun.
ReplyDeleteI just recently heard "There are no atheists when the toilet water is rising." True, that.
DeleteAwful! I go to a tea house, very beautiful old cottage, and we were there with a big group last month when their upstairs toilet flooded the entire upper floor. I felt so bad for those poor ladies who were already working so hard.
