plummin problems

So on Saturday I adjusted the shower head and a connection sprung a leak. Then, while doing the dishes this evening I noticed the faucet needed a new washer cause it was leaking some. After dinner, there was water on the floor. I investigated and found some sort of little leak coming from the vicinity of the garbage disposal. I decided a trip to the hardware store was in order as the kids would learn plumbing for their FHE.

We got plumber's tape, but the guy wouldn't give me a washer as he didn't know what size it would be and blah, blah, blah, take it off and come back in with it. I got home and couldn't get the stupid thing off. Looks like daddy will have to come to the rescue with that, as well as the whole garbage disposal thing... that wonderful thing is another of my crazy fears... a dark hole with spinning blades makes me shudder!

So down to one project, the shower. I get the part off that needs re-taped, put more tape on, get it attached. I then have to re-attach the shower head. It wouldn't go! I finally got it on and twisting, when my hulk-like strength sheared off the middle piece! I then groan and cheer cause I hated that stupid old shower head anyways, it wasn't the one I wanted, I received it as a gift from an idiot who I guess couldn't read a stupid circled advertisement anyways.

On with the evening... a trip to Wal-Mart to get a new shower head! After some debate, the kids and I chose one we can live with for a while! We got home and got it on without any problems, and the boy took a celebratory first shower!

Now to still try and get that washer out of the sink... hopefully I will remember to make a kid turn off the main water when I get it to budge!!!!!
