Mini blinds on kitchen window over sink fell this morning,
luckily I caught them before they broke/messed anything.
Had an extra set the same size that have been sitting around since the originals were installed 20+ years ago.
I knew they would eventually come in handy!

Similarly, when the shower valve in the upstairs bathroom here went bad I had to shut off the whole house.

Had that happen here too......luckily I discovered that the handle was just screwed up, rotted plastic, pair of vise grips replaced it nicely. That shower is rarely used to <shrugs>

All that would have been unnecessary if the plumbers had spent $10 and 20 minutes to put them in when they did the rough plumbing. Would have saved be a bunch of time.

Exactly!

Even more amazing than you keeping them for 20 years (I would too) was that you knew where to find them!!! Which I most likely would not.

Yeah, but at least your guy didn't mount a toilet with the tank set a few inches recessed INTO the wall behind it. Which is uninsulated.

Yup. The numbskull who built our house built the house next door and did that. Really.

Good morning! Rain here today and so maybe inside chores are in order.
That will be a well-deserved vacay, DL!
We met our new little grandson yesterday! DS@ and his wife have agreed to foster and hopefully adopt a cousin of my first son's wife. He is a sweet little guy and DH and he hit it off very well wandering around Walmart (you could hear the giggles and belly laughs)
while we did some serious shopping in the baby aisle. It was and is an amazing experience and as my DILs say, "Let the Adventure begin!"

There is always someone with an even worse story that "yours" isn't there!

I had to convince them to set the toilets an extra 2" from the walls so we could deal with the "summer sweats". They, of course, were going to set them such that you could barely put the tank cover on.

Because that just makes more sense, huh?
