Oh dear! It was Pete!

Linda Mansfield (Snowdrop) @sprite1950 (30461) • Corsham, England 23 Oct 21

Yesterday I called a plumber to investigate my leak, It turns out my well meaning friend caused it when he was "fixing" the ball valve in the attic. He must have accidentally disconnected two pipes which made water run into the...

Notlilie @prinzcy (32299) • Malaysia 2 Apr 21

Turn out it wasn't due to water disruption, but one of the pipe detached. Now that it's bright outside, I can finally see the cause of it. Looks like I have a pipe to fix today. Just need to look for the glue first. I forgot where...

After bathing one of the dogs, I took a quick shower. Sadly, it started leaking more and couldn't seal it anymore. Forced me to have it fixed. But what should have been just an hour took more than three hours because the pipes...

Did you ever play "flappy bird" game?

Cristian Ichim @Cristi_Ichim (3750) • Bucharest, Romania 10 May 19

This game is pretty simple in terms of understanding what you have to do but not that simple in terms of actually doing what you need to do. This is a small app that appeared in 2013 and back then generated lots of frustration...

You don't want clogged pipes now do you?

AbbyGreenhill @AbbyGreenhill (45490) • United States 26 Feb 17

When the weatherman said the temps would be below freezing last night I said it was time to leave a faucet dripping in order to prevent water line freeze. Such a thing could be costly and avoiding it is a simple matter. While...

Yay! Go Me!

Fleur @Fleura (35022) • United Kingdom 3 Feb 16

In our bathroom we have a suite which I think must date from the 1970s, complete with gold-coloured taps. Not my favourite but there’s nothing wrong with it so I can’t bring myself to change it all for no real reason; not very...
