So...having a pretty decent morning. Take Mitzi's car into the mechanic for a free checkup. Get home, relax a few. Get up to start cleaning.
Mitzi calls from the bathroom stating that there may be a leak. I look and notice that there is a really really slow leak on one of the things that come out of the wall. I head to Lowe's to get a replacement valve thingy.
Now, this is what I am guessing is the conversation that occurred right before this family headed out to Lowe's.
Father: Hey, Honey! I am going to head to Lowe's to get a bunch of stuff for the house.
Wife: That sounds great!
Father: I will be going up and down each and every aisle, stopping every few feet with my cart, blocking as much as possible, in the vain attempt to locate the items I need.
Wife: Those are awesome plans!
Father: Hey, Honey! Why don't you get our six little crotchftuits ready to head to the store with us. Make this a family outing!
Wife: You are an awesome father!
Father: Hey, Kids! Why don't you each eat as much left over Halloween candy as you can before we go! Also, down a couple of packets of sugar while you are at it!
Kids: Yay, Dad!
Father: Make sure each of you grab a shopping cart when we get there!
Anywho, I head home with what I think is the right part. I empty the bottom of the sink in a gingerly fashion by crazily tossing everything into a pile in the hallway. I grab my trusty wrench to get the thingamastuff off the pipe. It starts to turn easily and I feel that this might not be so bad.
After about half a turn, the nozzle thingy starts to angle in a way that pipes should not angle. It then just falls off. I feel around the pipe and notice that there isn't much pipe, and what is left is all bendy.
Seems that the pipe had rusted to the point where it had a tiny leak. I broke it all to shit just to teach it a lesson. Hoping that they can get a plumber out today so we can have water again.
