Why is it that things constantly split at the most inopportune time? Take for instance, about a month ago, my entire family came to see me, so I had about 6 extra people staying in my home, and i live in a 3-dining room house, so there was plenty of room for all of us, and the two of us had my 2 nieces here & they slept on a queen-size blow-up bed.
They had never slept on a blow-up bed before, & they loved every hour of it… Anyway, while my family was here, every one of us had a bit of a hiccup.
The toilet in the ½ bathroom on the bottom floor decided to break. The flapper broke off from the chain, so the water inside the tank kept running. Thankfully, my Mom was able to supply a temporary repair until I could get a hold of a plumber. My Mom gave to repair it, although I insisted on just hiring the plumber to do the work. The last thing I wanted my Mom to do was to repair my broken toilet while he was on holiday. Anyway, I was able to contact a plumbing service the same afternoon the flapper broke & by 12:00 p.m. that afternoon, the plumber was at my house. And in less than an hour, the flapper was fixed. I paid the plumber & gave him a tip – it was money well spent to avoid further aggravation, then happy to report the broken flapper was the only thing that went wrong that week, & my family had a great time while they were here.
