Even buying the parts can be fun. Not so easy if it is your boiler that's out of order, though.</p> Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:19:44 -0500 KLinnea comment 51518 at http://www.blogher.com http://www.blogher.com/plumbing-woes <p>I must have been raised by <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Keebler</span> Elves or maybe some strange cult of <span class="blsp-spelling-error">dogooders</span> as people never fail to amaze me. You have probably figured out that I am a pretty trusting person and if you tell me you are going to do something then I truly believe you will follow through. So far three plumbers have returned my messages and all three told me they would be here on a specific day. Unfortunately those days were weeks ago and I have yet to see a plumber. I know, I know and yes it was hard to cram that much naive into 5' 5&quot;. I have a simple repair that needs to be done and I won't bore you with the details. I can do most basic repairs but <span class="blsp-spelling-error">plumbin</span>' just ain't my <span class="blsp-spelling-error">thang</span>. Oh it's not that I haven't tried because I have and that brings up <em>bad </em>memories of what the neighbors still refer to as &quot;THE GREAT CRAPPER FLAPPER INCIDENT&quot;. Let's just say it was ugly...and wet. In my defense the directions were not exactly clear and yes I did have to mop. Upstairs and downstairs.  Plus fix a ceiling. I also had to paint...and apologize, a lot.</p> http://www.blogher.com/plumbing-woes#comments BlogHer Conference 2008 humor life plumbing repairs Sun, 13 Jul 2008 12:05:40 -0500 JanMBSC 46637 at http://www.blogher.com
