Cloudy that was one awesome story [img]smile.gif[/img] Linda enjoyed it very much too [img]smile.gif[/img] After all the stress this week we both needed a good laugh. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Moni [img]smile.gif[/img] I have to admit using auto parts to fix the problem was sheer genius [img]smile.gif[/img] Too funny [img]smile.gif[/img] This thread was right on time [img]smile.gif[/img]

MagiK beat me to it. New toilets are errrr shit! How does it save water when you have to flush 3 times? Bring back a whole truckload from Canada MagiK!
Cloudy and Moni theres a few things I need fixed around here, if you could swing by I'd be grateful [img]smile.gif[/img]

Good Luck with that dishwasher! I know firsthand what pains they can be!![/QUOTE]I'll suggest that to my parents, I just hope that the feet of the dishwasher aren`t dug into the wet boards now :/

Scholarcs,
If the floor isn't cheap particle board (like the one in my old bathroom was lol) it should be OK...even if the feet have dug into it a little, they can still use a crow bar to lift the front and shorten the (hopefully adjustable!) feet. Earthdog, I am glad you got a kick out of the story! That mess has to be the worst of all repairs I made while I lived there. [img]smile.gif[/img] LoA, What do you pay?

Great story, Moni! I've seen so many old places with similar problems! I lived in one before building this house and we had light switches that didn't work anything.. or at least didn't seem too, pipes that were sealed off, holes in the floor where pipes USED to be... yup, old houses can be LOTS of fun! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Scholarcs, definitely tell your folks to dry out the floor. A heater of some sort aimed at the base of the dishwasher could help, then, as Moni pointed out, try a crowbar! Earthdog! Wonderful! [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] Maybe I'll tell the one about the 'sump pump from the black depths....' later! LOL, now THAT was a repair that tried my patience! LoA, what? You'd rather flush ONCE than 3 times per use? Silly male, how efficient...LOL Really, I DO see that we aren't saving much water with the 'low flow' version. As for your chores, hey! Weren't you gonna put a drop ceiling in my basement?! [ 06-16-2002, 09:23 AM: Message edited by: Cloudbringer ]

We live in a house built in 1923 so I can relate to you folks. But the guy next door has a house built in the 19th Century, and HE had a problem. He came out the back door one night to let his little poodle, who was blind, out to do her business. The little dog scampered out - and disappeared. He heard a splash and ran to get a flashlight. This revealed the litttle dog swimming frantically in a LARGE pool of water where his back porch used to be. Turned out that an old cistern that he didn't know was there had collapsed, taking his entire back porch with it. He had to pay for fill and foundation repairs. And a new back porch.
