Stupid plumbing! - and an ouch


MyBrownEyedBoy wrote: So, Aaron was taking a shower this morning and I've been telling him he doesn't have to crank on the shower valve. But what does he do, cranks. So, I hear "KELLY COME QUICK!". I come running and shut off the water because the shower valve has come off in his hand and is spraying water all over the place. And I mean all over, it's on the ceiling outside the shower. Here comes the ouch part. When I was turning the handle to shut off the water, I jammed my thumbnail against the concrete wall and broke the corner off about 1/4 inch into the nail bed. I had to clip it off and put a bandaid on it. And now Logan keeps trying to get my "sticker". The only bandaids we had are scooby doo and Logan thinks they are all his stickers.

1lilpeanut2love replied: Sorry to hear that. Don't you hate when they don't listen. LOL! Hope you get it fixed and your nail doesn't hurt to bad! wink.gif

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Oh, I wish I lived in Jersey, then I'd call Ed. LOL. I've already called in the pros, but they won't be here for about 2 hours, in the meantime, I have no running water.

Kaitlin'smom replied: laugh.gif guess he got more of a shower than he expected laugh.gif

sorry to laugh, hope it gets fixed okay and your nail heals ok.

holley79 replied: hug.gif I'm sorry about the ouch and the water mess. I hoep you are able to get it fixed.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Well, the plumber got here faster than I expected and it didn't cost me a dime. Now that's service. I guess everytime Aaron shut off the water, he was cranking the faucet a bit looser. Unfortunately whoever plumbed the shower put the hot water valve in backwards or upside down or something. You have to turn it the wrong way to turn it off or on. So Aaron cranking on the valve to make sure the shower didn't drip eventually loosened the valve to the point where it simply came off and sprayed water everywhere. I now have it put back together, and I suppose it at least made me clean the bathroom floor. Now I just have to clean the mirror because it is covered with water spots from the spray.

Kaitlin'smom replied: WOOO HOOOO thats great. well except the cleaning part laugh.gif

sparkys2boys replied: Glad it's all fixed!!! Now, hows the finger??? Still allowed to wear the sticker..lool??

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Yep, I still have the sticker, I had to put tape over it to keep Logan from grabbing for it. And it kind of throbs now and again, but it could be worse. Funny how you don't realize how often you use your thumb in day to day stuff.

lisar replied: Sorry about the accident. Hope it heals quickly for you. But the whole sticker thing. I know how you feel if I have a bandaid on Raygen wants it. And I think all I have is Disney Princess ones. LOL

hoosier momma replied: Glad it is all fixed and you are on the mend.
