Rant: as the great profit snoop dogg once said

If it ain't one hung its the mother [expletive] other. Seems like for the last month problems and issues just keep coming at me. I don't know that any of them have been huge issues but my gosh I've never had an extended period like this where [expletive] just keeps happening. The cumlitive effect is starting to wear on me. I've been in a pissy mood for the past week.

One of today's issues. I repulmbed the farm house that were completely remodeling a little over a month ago. Replaced everything from the main service throughout the house. Or I should say replaced everything except the line that supplied the toilet. I didn't have one so I just reinstalled the old one when I ran the new water to it. Today we go out to the farm and my wife goes to use the bathroom and comes running out of the house frantic in seriously thought shed gotten a call and someone had died. The line supplying the toilet had broke and flooded the house. 6 feet of water in the basement and 6 inches standing in the bathroom. I've got all the electricity turned off so I flipped the breaker for the sump pump, nothing. So now I've got to figure out how to get the basement drained.

Sorry man. Hopefully it was the clean water line that broke and not the sewer line.

Ugh. Not what I expected from the thread title. Sorry Diddy - houses are a pain in the ass.

I'd imagine a generator and rented pump that can push more than a sump pump would be the way to get rid of the 6' of water in the basement, even if the sump pump did work. Hopefully your basement is a concrete hole.

Realized my wife had up plugged the sump to plug in a radio when we were doing the plumbing. So I was able to take a swim and plug it in. I turned if power to the entire house before doing this. Tess it was clean water. I assume the old line was alittle brittle and taking it off the old and putting it on the new must have weakened it leading to is failure.

Yesterday I ran over a nail in the road and got a flat tire. So far today nothing major, ill let you know when it does happen.
