Mess. Expense. And No Control.

There's something about the plumbing problems that bother me.  It has a variety of elements that I just don't like.  There is the mess.  The expense.  And most annoying is the lack of control of the situation.

I was happily sewing Halloween costumes for my granddaughters and working in the kitchen.  I have my sewing machine on the kitchen table, the ironing board up, and the T.V. on.  Just a nice night at home working on something for people I love.  As I walked from the kitchen table over to the ironing board I stepped into a large puddle of water.  I was the only one home, and I didn't have a huge cup of water sitting around that could of spilled.  I first thought that maybe my iron was leaking?  Stupid, I know.  After soaking up the water, I followed the trail to under the kitchen sink.  Ugh.  What a mess!  Everything was soaking wet.

The expense inevitable happens from the minute you call the plumber because let's face it, you have to have a plumber.  Leaking pipes, clogged drains should not be left to the 51 year old woman who knows nothing about this things and really doesn't care to.  You pay for the plumber to come out, but then you pay for the evaluation of the problem.  In this case, a leaking garbage disposal.  Purchase.  A new garbage disposal.

But the most frustrating thing about all this is the utter lack of control.  The not knowing where or when this can happen.  And when it is happening, you have not control of it.  I had the dishwasher going and when the water was draining out of the dishwasher during it's cycle, this is when the water leaked out of the disposal.  How many times do we turn on the dishwasher as we walk out the door?  No control.
