Because I was just traumatized lol.
Okay so you guys have probably seen me talk about how my stupid pipes fucking freeze on a regular basis ever since the main water connect bursted.
Well they froze again. Then....a few hours ago, the toilet came back. As the washing machine and the kitchen sink.
Well....I took Squish to the toilet(she refuses to go to the bathroom alone. And I dont blame her. I have the whole back of the house tore up. It's down to old ass nasty subfloor back there. The bathroom is left alone....its the hallway. The carpet was all nasty as fuck....it had to GO. Anyway
So I take her to the bathroom and behind my shower I hear water POURING. And I KNOW it's a pipe.....so i run back into the back bedroom(no one uses it, and access to pipes is behind the wall in that closet) and water is spraying out of the wall fucking everywhere.
So I went out side to under the trailor into the well and shut off my water. Dropped my fucking phone into the well.... prayed as i stuck my fucking HAND into this dark, cold monster zone hoping i could reach my phone(i did....and I'm miraculously posting this from the phone that i dropped into that nasty well thing) and shut off my water. It's seriously nightmare fuel under this house. I'm not even kidding.
So was able to find the problem.
Its supposed to look like this
But that one pipe completely blew outta the bigger pipe
And water was spraying out of the one in my hand. It just blew right out.
So tonight....I sand this bitch. And tomorrow.....i solder. I have to torch this thing and I've never done this before. But my friend....a bad ass old lady who redid the trailor she lives in just pep talked me and is coming over here tomorrow morning to give me proper instruction.
I guess I should tear out all that soaked carpet? It's just gonna start to stink and rot the subfloor.
Never mind my nails. I let Squish paint them.
