Water Problems
The other night I was in the bathroom of the house and I heard what sounded like heavy rain. I said to my wife that it was raining hard. A couple of hours later, I heard it again and I looked outside and no rain. I ventured down into our old basement and found the rain. My water pressure tank had a split in the seam and it was shooting a huge stream of water as the pump was clicking on and off. We ended up without water for about a day.
We are lucky to have an uncle who is a retired plumber so at least the labor was free. However, it still ended up costing around two hundred dollars in parts. My back has not healed yet so the other cost was massive pain.
Well it is fixed now and it could have been worse. Some days it sucks being a home owner, it always seems like something is going wrong. I feel like Tom Hanks in the movie “Money Pit.”
Just wanted to vent a little. Feel free to share your home owners blues by leaving a comment or two.
