Comments on: My dad was wrong. That’s the important part of today’s post. http://house-made.com/?p=298 Our adventures in sprucing up a neglected 1922 Spanish/Pueblo bungalow. Fri, 28 Aug 2009 20:59:11 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Beth http://house-made.com/?p=298&cpage=1#comment-18204 Beth Thu, 20 Dec 2007 20:03:07 +0000 http://house-made.com/?p=298#comment-18204 <b>Cup</b> Hi! I guess I wasn't terribly clear. There was cold water -- it was just a trickle, so one had to be patient when getting a glass of water. It's not like it was scalding hot or nothing. The biggest issue was that generally this is indicative of a much bigger plumbing problem and means that the pipes leading to the sink need to be replaced. Financially, we just weren't ready to face it. And that's how you end up with not-so-much cold water for three years. Cup Hi! I guess I wasn’t terribly clear.

Glad your father made you find the problem. If it hasn't been for the suffering of the previous three years it would make a funny story.

I do not claim to be very mature. <b>Arabella</b> - So the touchdown dance is inappropriate? <b>Mom</b> - Oh, I'm SURE he was secretly right! Brit – Why thanks!

Kim – I think I could only come fix your sink if my dad challenged me not to.

Arabella – So the touchdown dance is inappropriate?

Mom – Oh, I’m SURE he was secretly right!

I do know my guy! Mom I don’t think I’ll mention this particular project; it will take him a whole day to
somehow figure out that he was right! I do know my guy! Mom

One of the sinks in my master bath (the sink I use) started trickling cold water recently. So now I do the dance of two sinks when I brush my teeth. If it's not on my list, it doesn't get done and I conveniently keep forgetting to put this task on my list. Maybe I'll do that now. Please come fix mine now.

I would've been so mad to pay someone else to remove a rock. Hopefully he/she would've pretended it was something bigger. <b>Helen</b> - How does that <i>happen</i>? hellohahanarf – Thanks!

Jennifer – Being right is just so awesome.

When our bathroom was reno'ed a couple of years ago, the shower was running all dribbly. We told the contractor- he pulled off the shower head and it was all full of construction debris, screws, nuts...you name it. Who knows how that all gets in there, but glad it was an easy fix! heehee..plumber’s crack!

And also to be able to wash dishes in your sink without scalding yourself? Congrats on saving yourself the cost of a plumber's visit... and the sight of a plumber's crack. Yeehaw!
