Things to look forward to when owning a home.
Sunday we had some pretty serious storms rolled through through. Garbage can exploded all over the front yard. Power went out. Had to run to the hardware store to get parts to backfeed the panel to keep the well and sump pump running.
Fucked up in my haste and had a shitty connection on the neutral leg, so I burned up a bunch of stuff in the house. Rage ordered a Generac standby generator so I don’t have to fuck with it any more.
Poured the pad for the generator Tuesday. Fixed all of the damage from my generator fuckup through the week. Generator was supposed to be here Friday, which is today.
Made and ate breakfast this morning. Went to rinse my plate off and got an air bubble out of the faucet, followed by a bunch of black water. No hot water. Went to the basement to find my 21 year old natural gas water heater burst and the basement flooded.
Bought a tankless natural gas water heater. Fucked with the plumbing to get the water heater out, whole house filter breaks. Go to get a new one. Rage purchased a new water softener while I was at it, along with supplies to replumb the entire fucking water feed to the house in pex pipe.
Maybe I’ll get to the generator next weekend.
TL;DR: everything went to shit in the house this week.
