My house is trying to kill me.
Last week- whole house filter leaked like hell. I looked up how to fix it, and managed to slow the leak from 2 gallons/day to a trickle, but it's still leaking so I have to replace it. Fuck that guy.
Saturday morning my kids couldn't open the freezer door and when they finally did, found a glacier in the freezer. Turns out the ice maker supply line is just dripping like crazy, even with the ice maker switched off. The valve to kill water supply to the line is one of those old shitty piercing lines that nobody has used in like 20 years, and of course, it doesn't work. So I have to put in a new T with shut off while the water supply is turned off for the whole house filter replacement. And keep changing out the tupperware we have catching the drip in the freezer every few hours. Wife put it too far in last night so the drip shot all over the inside of the freezer, again, so I will have to remove all that excess ice. Again.
Opened the pool and the pool store told us to add x chemicals, plus 2 more bags of shock. Brought another water sample to them like 2 days later and they said the chlorine is off the charts high so we can't run the heater (Which is what I was concerned about and the reason I sent another sample to them). They asked why on Earth we'd add 2 more bags of shock, like I'm an idiot. So I showed them the directions they printed out for me that said to do it. The 16 year old kid asked who in the store had helped me. The owner. I asked if there's anything I can do to reduce chlorine and they said to let it air out (fine I don't have a cover), and "turning on the heater will use more chlorine". I said "you said I can't turn on the heater since the chlorine level is so damned high, as it would eat the copper piping inside the heater. That's why I originally came to you guys to test the water". Kid- "uhhh, oh yeah. DON'T turn on the heater!" Thanks bro.
Have to replace an ancient post & rail fence that exists because our dick neighbor cut down trees on our property years ago so their pool wouldn't be shaded. My parents owned the house then and didn't want to sue, so they put up the fence to let the assholes know where the line is. Last week the neighbors came over to ask if they could cut down trees on our side so their pool wouldn't be shaded. I said they could cut the 2 dying ones, but not the three healthy trees. The lady tried to tell me the trees are dying, that's why their bark is falling off. I told her they're shagbark hickories, and not only are they perfectly healthy, they're great homes to bats, which eat mosquitoes. Now she hates those trees because she's scared of bats. The husband came over to add that the fence looks like shit and we should just take it down. I asked if he remembers why the fence is there to begin with and pointed out that he has a shitload of nerve to even mention the fence, let alone complain about it. So I bought new fence materials and started replacing it, like one post/day. 42 posts. It wasn't supposed to be set in concrete according to the company that installed it. It is! Digging these fuckers out is killing me. But they wanted $6k to install. I spent like $2300 on materials. So it's slow going, and fucking annoying as hell. House must have been part of a rock farm. Fucking rocks fill the ground below 4". One after another... What should be a 6" diameter hole ends up being like 18"x24" to get all the damned rocks out of the way. Each one.
And the epoxy floor we had installed 2 years ago is peeling up! Too much humidity beneath it. They'll fix it for free but I have to empty the entire garage so they can find all the fucked up parts.
