    Default Dang it!!!

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Well, I can't catch a break sometimes!!!
    This an image from my bathroom. I had to dig down (after removing to Spa and breaking through the slab) 4' and tunnel in about 8' to fix a broken pipe.

    I fixed it and another leak sprouted two feet further up the pipe.

    Rather than spending $5000 to have the plumbing run through the attic craw space, I am running the entire house's plumbing underground (around, not under the house), myself.

    I can do the plumbing myself, but not the roof (it just started leaking).

    What ya going to do (dig!!!)

    This image was taken with a Nikon D700 and Tamron 17-35mm F2.8
    The ISO was 12,500. Yes that is correct.

    From the looks of it, "dang it" may not have been your first choice of words!

    James:

    I hate plumbing. You probably will soon as well. You fix one spot, it then leaks somewhere else, as you found out. Seriously, good luck on that.

    This really doesn't look like fun. I hope you won't have to do this more often.

    Holy cow! I couldn't tell from the thumbnail what was going on and thought maybe something had happened to the Hooptie Deux...I let out a sigh of relief when I saw it was only a major plumbing job (sorry, I know this offers little consolation to you...)!! Good luck with that dirty job.

    Is that REALLY the ISO or the estimated cost of fixing it again! :eek: :eek: ;)

    My father was a plumber so I know what lies ahead. I am not a plumber, because my father was and showed me the way! ;) :D

    Good Luck!

    These sort of problems are unavoidable to those that are named Shadle.
