That was the theme of the day, yesterday! Dan, my father-in-law, came over to help me change out faucets on our front bathroom sink, replace the insides of our back bathroom toilet, and figure something out with our bathtub in the front bathroom. Both of us thought we'd have about three hours of work! Boy, were we in for a surprise.
Just before 9am, Dan showed up and we were ready to work. We examined the three jobs and headed to Lowes (by way of Mac's for some tasty and cheap breakfast) to get the necessary supplies. Upon returning to the house, each of us thought we'd have about three hours of work. The plan was to head down to the Heorot for a pint, some lunch, and guy time.
Well, let me put it this way...when I had to leave for praise team at 5:30pm, Dan was still under the sink. When I returned from praise team, just after 7pm, Dan was still under the sink!
As with every other thing in our humble abode, Al (the former home owner) had jacked every thing up! Who would have thought you would need bolt cutters take the top tank off a toilet? Who would have thought you would need two people to turn off the cold water supply to a sink? Every single thing we worked on we had to deal with the stupidity of Al...that's the story of fixing things at our house. But, we got it all finished! I'm pretty sure it made my wife extremely happy to have working sinks, bathtubs, and toilets! It makes me happy too!
I just feel bad that Dan and I never got to head down to the Heorot for a pint! I guess I'll just have to drink one for him when I head over there in a few minutes for lunch!
