The Old Folks Home

Guess what still isn't fixed.

I was nice the first day. Not so nice today. I don't even know what the point is, anymore. They called me to ask if I could switch the pipes off to the water heater (yes, the guy showed me how to do that yesterday) and then drain the water heater (uhm, no, no one showed me that, I don't know where the drain is and it's 80 gallons of burning hot water, where would you like me to stick that?) so I made them come out. They only shut the water off, didn't drain it, and I have no idea what the point is or isn't. BF was here because I gave up and told him it now required testicle to testicle communication because clearly I don't have what it takes to resolve this anymore. BF says he thought if the pressure remained high, it was the water heater broken. I told him I thought the opposite was true. Regardless, they never called us back, or showed back up, and we have nothing coming out of the hot water pipes...

Time to go empty the duck water dish that's collecting the furnace pee.

wowsers.

Just
At least you and BF can see each other now that the power is back on so you can tell when one of you freezes to death.

Time to stop payment on the check or call the credit card company.

@superchemicalgirl all I can do is offer you a hugThis just sux. There is no customer service any more. I bought DH a 3D printer. It arrived, he was putting it together and noticed that several parts were missing and that there was a problem with the firmwear and he needed to do some changes in the programming. Oh, and they had sent the wrong power cord. I put in a service ticket on it. I'm still waiting for a return message from them three weeks later. In the mean time, DH, who is very clever about such things was able to MacGyver together the missing parts and cord but needed the firmwear programming so he contacted them testicle to testicle as you so well put it and asked if they could at least send him the programming because the printer is just a big paper weight without it. We are still waiting, three weeks later.

Businesses used to pride themselves on their customer service. Now maybe three out of 5 do. Luckily us, you got stuck with number 4 and we got number 5.

Oh and avoid Value Hobby like it was poison!

SCG, Hope you haven't gotten to the point of saying "F" it and just tearing the entire old system out and starting over. That wouldn't be good for you and your SO's debt total... I can imagine your aggravation and frustration becoming anger... I recommend a nice fruity white wine and a spa treatment You owe it to yourself.

that is what I did with our septic and leach feld.

After the house (with wall to wall carpet in some areas) flooded with poo FOR THE THIRD TIME! I said "I do not care what the cost is, I do not care if it is to code, but my all new septic will be huge, and the leach field will be guaranteed to always flow downhill, even if everything fails, you must promise me that poo will never again flood my house!"

MIL got drunk on wine once. Refuses to try it any more. I think everyone has a perfect right to day no if they don't care for it.
