Forgive me folks.....it is an exceptionally gorgeous day out today and I am in good spirits however I am dealing with a household problem that has managed to get my blood boiling.
So....our washer is connected to a large sink in our basement. It is my guess that the water from the washer gets purged into the sink to drain. Well.....the sink aint drainin folks! In fact....the water is pouring over the sink and flooding our basement. BAD NEWS!!!!
I have spent so much time with our friggin down spout outside....trying my best to make sure that NO WATER gets close to the house so as to eliminate any chances for flooding...and this is what happens?!
I refuse...emphatically!!! I call up my landlord, a sweet 85 year old man who can barely hear or see. His daughter is his eyes and ears and driver, lol and she happens to be out of town. We have a few discussions about what to do. Initially we said that I would seek out a plumber and pay for it with the expectation of being reimbursed. So, there I am googling a company that can help me out. I make a few calls and discover that not only can I NOT get a quote on the phone but that I have to pay right on the spot upon completion of the job.
My thoughts are; what if this job costs $300 or more? I don't have that available on the spot. Who are these people? Who do you think I am? Donald friggin Trump? I think not my friends! As I can feel the agitation growing in my gut, I have a pow wow with my mom. She suggests calling back my landlord, telling him to call a plumber and pay the company by credit card. GREAT IDEA! So I call my landlord back and make that suggestion. He tells me he doesn't have a credit card. LMAO! Wonderful!
What you should know is this; my landlord hired a realtor to find a lessee and manage the house to a certain degree. So, it was a unanimous decision to call her, get her to pay for it on his behalf and that way we can get the job done now without putting myself or my roommate out on the streets....so to speak!
This is where we are now! Waiting patiently for the next move! What a day! I guess it could be worse. It could be a toilet problem. Thinking about Jersey Shore with their toilet problems. Who tries to flush a wife beater? SERIOUSLY!!!!
Have a great day people! xo
