I.Hate.Plumbing.

I don’t mean to brag but I am better than average around the house at doing minor repairs. But plumbing, well plumbing is the sort of hell Satan keeps for really really bad people.

All I wanted to do is replace a faulty and archaic water filtration system under the kitchen sink. It was all but abandoned and I was tired of having a faulty setup and my significant other was tired of the Brita on-the-faucet filter so I bought a under the sink system and Saturday with a couple of hours I took on the task.

Honestly, the system went in like clockwork. It was awesome, and with the new push on connectors it makes anyone a plumber. As usual it’s the joining of the old and the new that is the problem. Once I was done I noticed the trap was leaking. When I touched the drain the old metal pipe disintegrated in my hand. This started a 3 hour fiasco that ended with me rigging the old into the new in a way that would make Davy Jones roll over in his watery grave.

I will not go into details but suffice it to say it no longer leaks and my water is filtered.
Of course a one hour project turned into 4 hour one and I was frustrated and so was she taking away from our plans for the weekend I.Hate.Plumbing.
