I know I shouldn’t complain about my home, because I’m fortunate to have a safe place to land each day. But for the love of everything, it’s overly needy.
It’s usually the electric gate, the air-conditioning, the water or the plumbing. Always with the plumbing.
Since we have people coming and going and my husband isn’t always so focused on things that aren’t functioning properly, I add a handy dandy little note. so we don’t get caught in a dry pickle. We are on a well system and get our water via a reverse osmosis tank; if you let the water run and run, the tank will empty and we will have zero water. none. zip. zilch.
This makes for a cranky Suz, although I don’t need the finest things in life, I’m a much better person with running water.
Our current Sign Situation
Bathroom One: I love threatening people.
I used to have great handwriting, but as I’ve gotten older (lazier) it’s not as neat, plus I’m guessing I was in Frustration Mode when writing these notes.
Bathroom Two: I’m tempted to change sticks to sucks.
Main door to the lanai won’t open for no apparent reason: I put that note for our 23 year old dog sitter when she stayed here last weekend. I knew she would get it.
Bathroom Three: Some of you might recall this sign and post from 2021 when our painter Jeff Spicolli Super Stoner, didn’t want to read this sign all the way through because he thought I was sharing GOSPEL information and not toilet information.
Spicolli felt terrible about us being without water for 13 hours after that incident, so he did a nice repair the next day. Sadly, that toilet is again running. I’ve not added a sign, I’ve just closed the door and not let anyone in there.
I don’t want to jinx it, but our toilet in the master bathroom is in perfect working order.
We also have two sinks (kitchen & guest bath) with the absolute worst water pressure in the twenty first century. Add in that in our master bathroom, I had to turn off the hot water to our sinks because my side would continually drip, even after a plumber looked at it twice. *sigh*
I have new plumbers, the ones who installed our tankless water heaters and they will be out next week to address ALL of the things. Well, not the door. Not sure when the Coach will be able to tackle that one.
Wish me luck!
Anyone else leave little notes around your house regarding the broken stuff so it doesn’t get worse?
