Just a couple of good things. I am now officially on the "payroll" to care for my husband. Just as I did for my sister. I had to learn all the ins and outs of the time keeping app that they prefer. I did that earlier this week,...

All that for such a small job!

Fleur @Fleura (35037) • United Kingdom 5 May

You must be getting used to all my tales of plumbing by now Sometimes it seems that lots of things go wrong at once. I guess if many household items are around the same age it stands to reason that they will wear out...

My latest problem

Fleur @Fleura (35037) • United Kingdom 22 Jan

This is the problem I have to deal with now. And I admit I am a bit stumped. Basically the flush mechanism in the toilet has worn out. This is easily fixed by simply replacing the thing, and if it was a ‘normal’ free-standing...

I no longer live in my parents' house, but I recently discovered that the kitchen sink leaks. I contacted a plumber immediately to have it looked at and fixed, as my mother and younger sister have been struggling to wash the...

I got out of bed

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169479) • United States 2 Mar 24

My carpal tunnel or whatever it is disturbed me this morning. I have been awake since around 3 a.m. but did not get out of bed until 4:30. I have a three day weekend, sort of. I will go in to work for about an hour Monday...

I am up, Bob is up

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169479) • United States 17 Jan 24

Even if I could drive the truck I would not take it. Bob needs a vehicle here. He has a doctor's check up and some labs to get done today. He is up, and dressed, and drinking coffee. Looking at next week, we may...

I seem to not have a lot of time

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169479) • United States 5 Dec 23

Things just stack up, and do not get done. In November I was not here much, and December may be the same. I think there are thirteen more days of school. Plumber is supposed to come today. We shall see. He has had a rough two...

Adjusting

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169479) • United States 15 Oct 23

My eyes are adjusting a little better to my spare glasses. So I am here now. I still am not reading a lot. I took a day off from most things yesterday. I will be coming here more now in the weeks to come. We have connected with...

More alarmed than ever before

DW Davis @DWDavis (25797) • United States 4 Jul 23

No, nothing happened. I finally finished installing the window sensors for our security system. Now, there is no way for anyone to enter our home without setting off the alarm system and alerting the security company, and, if I'm...

What’s wrong with this picture?

Fleur @Fleura (35037) • United Kingdom 4 Oct 22

All the plumbing talk on a recent post by @JudyEv reminded me of this. This is a little hand-washing basin which has separate hot and cold water taps, as is common in the UK. But something isn’t right, can anyone spot what it...

A Persistant Leak

Ron Rybs @Ronrybs (21497) • London, England 1 Sep 22

Discovered a leak under the kitchen sink. After a bit of investigating I decided it was the cold water pipe to the washing machine. A quick trip to the plumbing shop for a new hose, five minutes work and all sorted. Except the...

Now I need to find a plumber

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169479) • United States 15 Mar 22

I am not really surprised, my sewer line needs "snaked" out. It has been about three years. I know I have tree roots. I used to keep them in check by putting salt in my homemade laundry soap. I have not done that in a while. Quit...

Plumbing, I hate plumbing

Jose Gonzalez @profree2019 (1208) • Barquisimeto, Venezuela 19 Jun 21

Today has been a terrible day for me. I have spent most of my time trying to repair a white water pipe at home and have been exhausted. So much work, trying to make it perfect and in the end plugging everything in oh - oh a leak,...

I Was Shocked By The Estimate for Repairs!

Diana B. @BloggerDi (3121) • United States 13 Mar 21

The water pipes in my old house were victims of the arctic blast/blizzard that hit much of the US about three weeks ago. Many of them burst after being frozen solid in sub-zero (F) temps. A lot of folks across the country had...

That was easy!

Fleur @Fleura (35037) • United Kingdom 24 Nov 20

A couple of days ago our washbasin drain got blocked. I don’t know why, because of course nothing goes down there except the usual soapy water and toothpaste rinsings, but anyway the water drained away more and more slowly until...

Michelle Renee Kidwell @Michellekidwell (29953) • Sonora, California 22 Jun 20

May get into the triple digits, ugh, I’m not going to the library at least until tomorrow, with hopes that the water and plumbing are in functional order, it’s definitely to hot not to have water. It’s going to be so hot, I’m...

We're now mid way through June and I wish things would get back to normal already. We started so it's a plus but it could move faster. Over the weekend, the yard sale was a bust but that's okay. I just start online again. I...
