New indoor swimming pool
SavannahLion:
I really hate how houses are built nowadays. Last spring melt my mother found a freaking stream in the basement in her 50 year old house. We just moved her ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out of the way, removed a wall panel and waited until summer dry to patch the entrance point. ZERO damage. Now this house, our entire laminate flooring is buckling even where there was no water on top. Damn you capillary action! My wife is estimating the damage to be higher than our insurance deductable so I'm waiting for a call from the adjuster.

It's usually girls who do this sort of thing, because they aren't taught how to use toilet paper. I don't know where it started, but...they just wad it up in masses, and then let their daughters pick up the salpractice. My dad schooled me right and I remember to this day. Not because he beat me. He didn't. Because of the economy of it all.

My step daughter does something similar, literally rolls up a wad of paper. Even using a HUGE wad of TP for the bloody stuff. The pads come with pouches for that express purpose. Pisses me off my wife won't teach her proper. Now my 2 year old is terrified it will happen again so she stands there and watches the john to make sure it all goes down and the cycle completes. I'll be stepping in to show how TP should be used.

Ahh...the stuck floater combined with a clogged toilet. Caused silently by a child. At night. There aren't very many storms that get more perfect than that.
I always watch and make sure it goes down. It takes a few seconds. And I don't even use that much paper. I hate the people that use giant wads.
Incidentally, I've spent the last two days digging a hole to the water pipe that enters the house. Had a very small leak during the last rain. Fixing it before it becomes a bigger problem. Got discouraged yesterday, because I thought I was at the correct depth, but apparently the pipe angles upwards. 5 feet down into the ground at the wall. Got it patched today after I spent a couple more hours finally locating it and cleaning around it. Stuffed some hydraulic cement into the hole, then covered it with a bunch of roof cement. Will fill the hole back up tomorrow. My thighs hurt...

Man I feel your pain. Water in the house is the worst. At least you seem to have a healthy sense of humor about it.
We just had a garbage disposal spring a leak. The good news was that my wife caught it before we had a major mess. The bad news is that I'm now too big to get under the sink. I had to have my daughter get under the sink and plug the new disposal in. :laugh2:

Not in some cases...let alone some people's turds. Someone I knew semi-recently, she had constipation, and when it finally came out, it was so dense it just plugged the hole. Adobe mud poop. I had to cut them in pieces with a long plastic strip I found round her house for them to go down.
