Mr. Fixit strikes again

[canawler]

Once again we got some water in the basement the other day and once again it looks like I'm going to have to fix the clothes dryer..... "But, dear, I saved us a shipload of money by not having to pay a service guy seventy bucks a visit just to show up and not know what went wrong with the dryer...and I have done this at least a half a dozen times. Am I not, therefore, entitled to spend the money on a kilt?"

This could sooo be taken the wrong way but as someone who also tries to fix everything himself I intend it to be funny.

If you are constantly working on the dryer for a water leak, it may be time to have that service guy come in to fix your washing machine.

So much talent here. Boy, am I hoping some of it will rub off...

I fix everything around here (plumbing, electrical, paint, drywall, roof...whew!), built a storage shed and a wood shed, take down damaged trees, you name it and I've probably done it. And I work three jobs.

But does the "Look how much money I've saved us" argument work on my darling bride?

You mean, dryers don't run on water???

No...it's more like we get a good rain and debris from the main city sewer out under the street clogs up the end of the pipe coming out from our house. As a result we don't get backwash from the sewer but our waste water stays in the pipes and eventually backs up through he drains in the basement floor...slightly less disgusting than having the city's mains back up into the basement but that's small consolation. We usually find this out after everybody has taken their morning showers...of course, the teen age daughter takes those twenty minute plus showers so it can still be a bit of water. Add to that the downspouts which drain into the same system...the city wants everybody to disconnect their downspouts but you still have to find somewhere other than around the foundation of your house to send the water to. I've become rather expert at rodding out my drain as well as fixing the appliances.

Best
