No home repair goes unpunished....

We have this little issue where if we fix something in the house something else must unexpectedly break, which of course is either inconvenient or costly. If it can be both inconvenient and costly all the better.

This weeks example. A $13 trip to Lowe's for a toilet valve cost us just under $900.

Eek!

On the upside, the plumber complemented Mike on the work he did with the valve replacement. :P

Crap!! That is a huge chunk o change Kim! My mantra when we have to put money into the house is "someday we'll get it back out!" It's the only way I can get through the money leaking out. ;-)

When using caustic drain cleaners, be very careful if they do not unclog the drain. The drain cleaners will still be in the water and use of a plunger or other tool may splash the drain cleaner into your eyes or on your skin causing serious harm. best chainsaws
