Ghetto fabulous

Ok, so with me comes GHETTO-NESS? My car is a bit ghetto. Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn’t. Last week I took a nice mile long walk in the 100 degree temp because of it. The dishwasher has to have a broom propped up against it to make it work. Now the sink! Come on, something else?? Oh wait, I forgot about the garbage disposal, but back to the sink. Our sink in the kitchen is leaking. It started that one of the pipes cracked. This of course was when there were about 15 people over for a dinner meeting. We had to run out and try to make it to get a new one by 10 pm. Home Depot closes at 9, so it was off to Lowes, we made it and got the new pipe. We are girls, do you think we could properly fix it? Thank you for believing in me, but NO. So we borrowed a friend to fix it in the morning.

This is where the dishwasher and the sink both come in. Cindy has actually been the amazing fix it woman and had thought that it was fixed as our borrowed man had left. So she ran the dishwasher, by propping a broom up against a chair that pressed on the dishwasher. She was on the phone and thought she heard water. She went in and there was water everywhere, including behind the fridge. SO our friendly borrowed repairman came back to fix it. He left saying it was fixed. Well, I went in to put things away and there is water on the floor. So now our sink still leaks, the dishwasher needs to be propped and the garbage disposal doesn’t work. But we don’t have mice, so that is good!

I must say Cindy is great at DIY (Do it Yourself) and she was the one who figured out how to make the dishwasher “work” Hmmm, maybe she can figure out my car, well she is at least available to pick me up if I need it.

That is HILARIOUS! Looks like you are getting some free lessons in home improvement! Was the "borrowed" repairmain someone you might continue "borrowing"? That reminds me - I have to get a new flapper for my toilet - UG - it never ends!
