We had a Major plumbing issue in our home. The solution: Re-pipe the entire house
That means, ripping out huge sections of drywall and routing new water lines everywhere. That is, all the bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, new water heater, new R.O. etc. etc. (not a cheap date either).
This will ultimately lead to new dry wall and paint throughout the entire home and also the remodeling of a bathroom and a new master bedroom addition.... probably another garage too.
..... also yesterday, I had our roof repaired. good timing too, because yesterday we had a storm of Biblical proportions.
The garage roof had a leak (thank God not the house itself) and we had a micro burst that uprooted one of our trees.
The tree is (was) about 20 feet tall. the same micro burst took out one neighbor's palo verde tree & flag pole and another neighbor's block wall came tumbling down.
Would tearing down the house and rebuilding from scratch be easier?
Hate to hear things like this, major ouch and pain.0 -

Ha. Nope.
At least it's all new plumbing; I won't be doing this again anytime soon.0 -

But last week, we were leaving on a trip and our daughter drove us to the airport. I'd been sipping a Coke Zero and in the hullabaloo at the airport drop off, I forgot to bring it with me. It was almost empty, so that shouldn't be a big deal, right? An almost-empty coke zero can in your cupholder for a few days? She picked us up on Monday and I threw the can away when we got home. But Tuesday, I discovered those teeny tiny sugar ants around the console. I squished about 7 or 8 of the little suckers. Cleaned out my car again, put in an ant bait. But I saw another one this morning, so they're still not gone.
This is BS. I know a lot of people that keep messy cars and they've never gotten ants. Shoot, my own husband drives a giant 3rd row SUV and the danged kids leave food back there in the third row all the time that we don't find for weeks. Half-eaten kolaches, candy wrappers, you name it. HE'S never gotten ants. My ex-husband's car always had a million Dr. Pepper bottles floating around in the backseat. HE never got ants. The ants are unfairly targeting me.
I had a flea infestation 3 years ago after bringing home a rescue cat from an animal shelter, fleas were all in my house, I mean everywhere in such a short period of time. We ended up removing all the carpet and laying down hardwoods.
I am not sure what's worse fleas or ants. I hope you get it cleared up soon.0 -

Very true. The upside which is very hard to see right now I know, after you get done you will be living in a new home for sure.1 -

Apparently, they're lazy and eat too much junk food.

Kid proceeds to reject all suggestions and lay around whining until they start getting assigned chores when they suddenly become busy and interested in something.

I have a very short summer. Tourists from all over the place flock here. They buy all of the food off the shelves and some like to drop in unannounced and use my home like a flophouse. I don't care if they ever come here again. They expect laundry and linen service, eat all of the food and don't replace it. I often just pack my bags and leave when they tell they're coming so I don't have to put up with it. Some will put up tents in the backyard or pull their camper in when I'm gone, hooking up to the utilities. They're resourceful. It happens every year and if I want company, I'll find it.
When I'm on here, alot, it's just a way of distracting myself so I don't throw all of their things out into the front yard. Bye, Felicias, Bye.0 -
Okay this is petty.. But... whatever.
A while ago, my co-workers stole pens off my desk (nice ones). They are the ones that clicked, and I had a bad habit of clicking the pen when I was on the phone. Some people doodle.. I clicked. So, the GIRLS decided to take all my pens that clicked (ones with no caps) and distribute them out to the CSRs that already had the same pens as me. Okay great.. Didn't make too big of a scene of it, well besides putting my stapler down a little harder than normal, or click it a few extra times, or clicking my nails on my desk a while....or typing a little louder than normal. No pettiness here.
Our accounting clerk decided to tell me that she cannot order those pens anymore. I didn't even as the lady too. I told my boss and she agreed how freaking petty it is and sad. I didn't do anything more, because technically the owner bought them for us, so company property. So, I told her that I am going to buy my own pens, and she said that if anyone takes any of my property off my desk, she will take care of it. (Which is what this whole thing was about, that they took something out of my area out of spite.)
Anyways, had to give the book above to get to the reason I am a little upset today. The Accounting clerk that purchased these pens in the first place for the CSRs and whom told me she was not allowed to purchase special pens anymore, turned around and purchased a bad *kitten* set of pens for the two co-workers by me. What?? Pens are Pens, I am not upset about that.. I just don't like the sneakiness and favoritism to certain co-workers there. The funny thing is these same females talked so much *kitten* when I first started, because my boss was my ex-sister in law (married to my brother that passed away) and I've known her since I was 12. However, she has never never shown me favoritism, I always busted my *kitten* to make her proud.
(I know there are grammatical errors above.. I don't feel like fixing it, you can if you want.)3 -
