It's a conspiracy I tell ya!
First the toilet doesn't work, tank won't fill. So, I give it new guts. Now that works. Then the tank starts leaking at the bolts that hold it to the commode. I just want to replace the seals and bolts but the wife wants a new toilet. Honestly now I wouldn't mind a new throne. Something with an oval front.
Okay, we're gonna pick one up in the next day or two.
Yesterday we get home after a good workout at the Y. I reach into the freezer section of our back porch fridge for a cold pack. Everything's thawed, both the refrigerator and freezer are room temperature. It's getting power, the compressor motor's running and the light works. It's just not getting cold.
Luckily, we didn't have any perishables in it at the time. Just ice packs and cold drinks.
Out where we live, everyplace is a road trip, we generally come down out of the mountains once a month or so and stock up 3 refrigerator freezers.
Okay, we'll need a new fridge now.
Then this morning, the kitchen light doesn't work. It's fluorescent and usually a fluorescent light'll do something when it's burned out. This did nothing, like the switch wasn't even turned on. It doesn't have a ballast instead it uses a starter. I'm thinking it's just the starter. Maybe we can pick one up while we're buying a toilet and shopping for refrigerators.
Oh yeah, our kitchen floor's falling apart. We're gonna do it ourselves with those stick down tiles.
Another thing to pick up.
Always seems like this stuff happens whenever I get close to scraping enough pennies together to go gun shoppin'.
Oh well, maybe next year.
Just for fun, our kitchen sink stopped draining. first I took all the pipes and traps out, nothing. I spent the last 4 hours or so snaking it out.
Didn't cost anything but ohh my aching back.
