the perils of home ownership (part 2? 3? 2^6?)
It's been a long time since I used that post title - I think last time was having to replace the refrigerator because meat was spoiling. This time we decided to replace the washer because we thought it was contributing to ruined clothes. Quick zip to the store after some research, install and delivery the next morning. No problems right? Except for the leak that started coming from the valve stem unit after the installation. Which we later figured out was making it's way down to the first floor unit under us :(...
It could be worse - I've heard nightmare stories of people taking up a bit of flooring or cabinets and all of a sudden having an entirely new kitchen. This is just a couple of plumber visits and a couple of $10 parts that we hadn't anticipated.
