B the Plumber...Not!


I woke up Sunday afternoon to the sounds of B working in the kitchen. Groggily making my way there for a cup of wake-me-up coffee, I was surprised to see him with the plunger and our kitchen cabinets down below the sink wide open.
soal

I asked what he was doing and he said that he was trying to fix the sink, which got me thinking what could possibly be wrong with our double stainless sinks. I made myself some coffee and ventured into my office, leaving him to his task as I start checking my emails and stuff online.
minum

Minutes later, B emerged from the kitchen into my office with a sullen face telling me that the kitchen sink is clogged and water won't go down the drain. It was
working fine the last time I turned on the tap to do some dishes so I couldn't figure out what was wrong. The idea of calling a plumber on a Sunday was too much for me to handle especially since I just woke up. ngantuk

I pressed B for more details and he reluctantly admitted that the kitchen sink only started to clog after he used the plunger! Before that, it was working fine and water was still running down the drain with no problem, just a tad slower than usual. Trying to surprise me by fixing the sink so it would be smooth-running again, he attempted to pull a Tim the Tool Man on me. His plan to fix our kitchen sink to give it "more power" definitely backfired and now, the sink is totally clogged and water refuses to go down the drain at all!tension

I did not know whether to laugh or to cry but that's my darling hubby for you! It's sweet that he wanted to help but perhaps he should stick to stuff that he's well-versed in and not be the plumber at home. Most importantly, "If it's not broken, don't fix it"! So as much as I love my B and appreciate his good intentions, we got no choice but to call the plumber now SIGH! adacall

Roxy

Roxiticus Desperate Housewives,  May 05, 2009 12:35 PM

It was very similar. I woke up to find Rex trying to use the plunger, but that only made it worse. He was sooo sheepish when the plumber had to come and fix everything.

Nick Phillips,  May 05, 2009 1:31 PM

LOL! B sounds just like me when it comes to plumbing. Wifey always tells me to just stick to advertising and leave the plumbing to the experts ...

I can ruin a perfectly good sink by just looking at it ... hahaha ...

Mariuca,  May 05, 2009 1:34 PM

LOL so defend the male populasi yg tak tahu plumbing la ni Bem Bem! ;)

Mariuca,  May 05, 2009 1:39 PM

He he so B got fren now! Yeah Nick, it’s better to leave these things to the expert, no need to pandai2 fix all and in B’s case, no need to fix something that’s not broken hah a ha!! :)

Adrian,  May 05, 2009 2:05 PM

Alakazam GP! I can totally relate to "Tim". Many a time I have tried to do a fix-it job and more often than not have not been very successful! My greatest blunder is painting the bathroom door and tipping the paint tin over, the clean up job took much longer than the paint job I must say. The list is long and the memories are not pleasant LOL So much so that now I try to let the professionals do their jobs. Speaking of tipping over I tipped over my morning coffee today too. Enuf said....it's been a bad day, week, month and year even ! Anyway I too subscribe to the "If it ain't broke, don't fit it" mantra.

Cheers to B for trying!!

"Al"akazam!!

Shemah,  May 05, 2009 3:12 PM

Awww.. his intentions were good, though! Last time when my mom had plumbing problems in the kitchen, J offered to help.. i was like.. no no no no.. but in the end he managed to fix it and changed what needed to be changed! So now, everytime we've got plumbing problems, I'll just ask J to check it out. LOL! Or maybe he's just lucky that it's not like a really big problem! hahahaha
