Given a choice, though, I'm all about rough carpentry. <br /><br />Gwen - sorry to hear about the car. Fixed yet? Hopefully it wasn't as bad as it could have been.<br /><br />Carissa - no brakes? I don't imagine you find that out the easy way...<br /><br />Bev - I try to do as much home repair myself as is possible, Lori only wields veto power when the likelyhood of my death is greater than the potential cost of the repair (you read the snake removal story, right?)<br /><br />MtnMama - Sometimes renting seems like a great idea, but I always wind up fixing things myself anyway. We'll be renting our next house, I'm almost certain. However, as a former landlord, that side of it sucks, too.<br /><br />Kris - at least I don't have roots, I don't blame you for the purchase.Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623810021177960310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781586185594177386.post-18394656486617682002009-12-10T23:24:38.396-05:002009-12-10T23:24:38.396-05:00We finally invested in a sewer auger because we go...We finally invested in a sewer auger because we got sick of renting one from the local Grand Rental store. We have a terminal case of tree roots in the line, and have replaced the whole line under the foundation, and from the front steps to the street. There is a 3 foot section of old clay pipe that is under the steps that we were unable to access, and guess where the roots are? The sewer rules in this house are: <br />1) Only back up on a weekend when the plumber charges assrape amounts and <br />2) Bonus points for backing up in the middle of the night while the water softener is recycling OR while doing laundry.<br /><br />Homeownership can sometimes suck, but the alternative would be a landlord who doesn't give a crap, I guess. Hope you have all of your water problems fixed for good!<br /><br /><br />wv:turyn...turd's twin sister.Krisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781586185594177386.post-43273195829285371412009-12-10T23:01:03.653-05:002009-12-10T23:01:03.653-05:00I'd love to regale you and Lori with sad tragi...I'd love to regale you and Lori with sad tragic tales of my previous plumbing woes, but they won't make yours any more pleasant or less expensive.
