Damn, not even Christmas and Beener already throwing around the "T" word. Ugghhh. Gotta send out my last prepayment of the year too.
The TOO dump thread
- Thread starter hickslawns
- Start date
Going to have mine finished on Jan 2nd. Financing to be done and needed to show the extra income.
You ain’t whining buddy!!! When it pours like that on ya you have a right to vent! Dang buddy, hope the stress and frustration eases up on you and your family soon my friend. Thoughts and prayers headed your way.
Woke up at 1:48AM to the sound of the power going out. When it stays out longer than a 3 count, we're usually out for a while. I immediately thought "oh fuck" cause of the weather and I still hadn't fixed my generator wiring. I'd started to, then got sidetracked and forgot to finish. Well at 2AM, I'm back at it and thankfully made a gut decision that worked (pics Ben sent me helped, but I still couldn't tell for sure what was what). Generac 5500 that sat for over a year and it fired first pull. Talk about relief!
Sacrificed a cheap extension cord and wired a plug on to my HVAC blower. Bam, we got heat. Went ahead and ran to town to fill up gas cans and the truck just in case. House is toasty and I'll even recoup on sleep. Just happy to have avoided a much worse situation.

Jesse how cold is it at your place? My aunt said it was -10 at the farm this morning. Glad you got the heat going.
It was -8 when I went for gas.
Here's another pisser. I'm taking a shit shortly after we get power back and I hear a loud noise followed by high pressure water spewing all over. Supply line broke at the plastic coupling on the toilet end. The valve was stuck, so it gushed water for 60 seconds before I got it off. Keep in mind I'm on my knees, pants down, shit in the toilet, taking water to the face... [emoji23]
Water soaked through the floor and ceiling tile downstairs. I needed to repair both, so it is what it is on that front. Replaced the line with a new braided stainless line and a much more robust coupling. Also rewired the generator since I straight cobbled it together this AM.
My truck is also leaking coolant like a sieve and the wife's Traverse is having transmission issues. Welcome to 2018 and happy fugging Monday.
Damn. Sorry Jesse. When it rains it pours I guess... Literally. Sorry but I laughed as I pictured you stumbling around the toilet getting sprayed with water.

Been there buddy. Those plastic couplings are POS. I came home to a rain storm in my kitchen a couple years back from the upstairs toilet doing that same exact shit. Be glad you saw it happen!

You don't get that name for being a Douche Bag!
This getting old shit sucks, especially when you have a lot of older buddies.
Brain aneurism out of f'n no where. He was Hospitalized for 12 or so days, but no signs of brain activity. Enough was enough. Argh.
