Know the Most Common Australian Plumbing Problems and How to Resolve Them
Tumblr media
Whether a property is used for residential or commercial purposes, plumbing concerns are a necessary component of ownership. A country such as Australia is prone to plumbing issues as it has many different types of landscapes and climates as well as common reasons, such as weather conditions, the plumbing system’s age, and ordinary wear and tear. You may save time, money, and the annoyance of dealing with unforeseen inconveniences by being aware of these common plumbing issues and learning how to handle them.
In this article, we’ll look at some of the most frequent plumbing problems Australians have and provide practical solutions.
We’ll also go over Sydney plumbing solutions and how critical it is to choose trustworthy service providers that offer reasonably cost plumbing services in Sydney, including commercial plumbing services.
1. Blocked Drains and Toilets: A Common Nuisance
Blocked drains and toilets are perhaps the most frustrating plumbing problems encountered by Australians. Hair, grease, and foreign objects are just a few of the things that can clog your pipes and cause unpleasant effects. In bustling cities like Sydney, where plumbing systems are under constant strain, dealing with blocked drains is a regular challenge.
Be careful about what you put down your drains to avoid obstructions. Use drain guards to catch debris and avoid flushing non-biodegradable items down the toilet. If you find yourself contending with a blockage, a plunger or drain snake might provide a quick fix. However, for more stubborn cases, engaging professional plumbing service providers is recommended. These professionals have the knowledge to remove even the most stubborn clogs and provide inexpensive plumbing services in Sydney.
2. Leaky Faucets: A Silent Culprit
Leaky faucets not only create an annoying drip-drip sound but also contribute to water wastage. Given Australia’s varying water availability, addressing leaky faucets promptly is essential.
Most leaky faucets result from worn-out washers, O-rings, or seals. Replacing these components can put an end to the incessant dripping. Reach out to a reputable plumbing service provider if you’re not confident performing DIY repairs. These professionals, familiar with both residential and commercial plumbing services, can restore your faucet to perfect working order.
3. Burst Pipes: A Winter Worry
In regions prone to freezing temperatures or possessing ageing plumbing systems, burst pipes are a recurring concern. A burst pipe can result in property damage, water waste, and increased utility costs.
If you suspect a burst pipe, turn off the main water supply immediately to minimise damage. Next, contact an emergency plumbing service provider promptly. In a fast-paced city like Sydney, where quick responses are vital, having access to reliable commercial plumbing services can save the day.
4. Low Water Pressure: The Irritating Intruder
Low water pressure can make routine activities like taking a shower difficult. Mineral accumulation, pipe corrosion, or undetected water leaks can all cause this problem.
Check to see if the low water pressure is present across your entire property to start. If so, the issue can be more complicated and call for expert help. Reputable plumbing service providers in Sydney, possess the skills to identify and resolve the underlying issue, restoring optimal water pressure.
5. Water Heater Hiccups: Chilly Challenges
An inconsistent water temperature or a complete lack of hot water can be traced back to water heater issues. This is particularly unwelcome, especially during the colder months.
Start by checking your water heater’s thermostat settings. If that doesn’t solve the problem, a malfunctioning heating element or sediment accumulation might be the culprits. Trust the situation to experts that provide both residential and commercial plumbing services for complicated water heater problems. Your comfort depends on a working water heater, and these experts can make sure it runs efficiently.
6. Running Toilets: A Quiet Drain
Running toilets are notorious for silently hiking up your water bill. A continuously running toilet is a leak that shouldn’t be ignored.
A damaged flapper valve frequently contributes to a running toilet. This component can be replaced with ease, and hardware stores usually carry replacements. But if the issue continues, don’t be afraid to get in touch with a plumbing service provider for a full analysis.
You are better able to preserve the balance of your house if you are knowledgeable about typical plumbing issues and practical fixes. Remember, while DIY fixes can work wonders for minor issues, professional plumbing service providers are your allies when it comes to tackling complex problems or plumbing emergencies. Seek out trusted experts who offer affordable plumbing services in Sydney to ensure your plumbing system remains reliable and efficient.
Contact us to schedule a consultation. Discover how we can work with you to maintain the comfort and functionality of your property by exploring our extensive selection of services. With us by your side, plumbing problems will become a thing of the past, allowing you to enjoy peace of mind and uninterrupted daily routines.

i honestly was not mad about our landlord keeping the whole security deposit because those dumb bitches literally broke the plumbing by flushing tampons down a basement toilet
like the plumbing literally had to be replaced for that toilet, specifically because of an incredibly stupid thing the tenant did. i don't think the landlord should necessarily have to pay for that.
but my mom is saying that it's illegal for him to keep the deposit over that since it happened several months before the lease ended. she said he should have charged us at that time and if we didn't pay it, then he could have taken it out of the deposit.
i do not have the energy to argue about that, especially since i would feel really wrong trying to get out of paying something that genuinely was on us as the tenants. like yeah it sucks for me and selbbep to lose out on our $750 each since we're not the ones who broke the toilet, but like. that's what you sign up for when you sign a lease with other people.

Well. This is a Shitshow. Literally.
So if you've been following this blog, you will know that recently, I moved house. Nearly everything has been great- the location is already improving some of the mental and physical health issues I've been having, the animals love it.
BUT SOMEONE LIED
We went through literally a dozen home inspectors to prevent this from happening, but there's no preventing someone acting in Bad Faith, and turns out that the seller just... straight-up lied to us about an issue the sewer inspector pointed out and may have submitted fake paperwork saying they had it fixed.
It is very much Not Fixed :) There is raw sewage in my basement :)
The problem IS fixable, and I am not in danger, but this is going to cost a hell of a lot of money. We're already exploring legal options for a settlement*, the plumbing company we're working us gave us some really generous discounts and financing, but the fact of the matter is, this is going to cost $17,000 that I Do Not Have Right Now :)
*A settlement/lawsuit is not terribly likely to actually result in money because CO's legal protections for home-buyers kinda suck, and also, I Do Not Have Money Right Now, so I cannot afford the lawyer necessary to do all the filing. Best-case scenario for a settlement is likely "Maybe half the cost of the repairs, deposited in your bank account two years from now".
So, I know shit's been going around lately, but if you can throw a few bucks my way, it will go a long way towards my safety and sanity and also Getting The Raw Sewage Out Of My Basement In a Timely Fashion.
Ko-fi Paypal Fundraiser (Ends 4/20/23)
Thank you for your help, and I deeply, sincerely hoping that you are having a better day than I am.

Prompt: Sukuna is too proud to ask for cuddles so you pretty much have to guess what he's pouting about when he does. But this time if he wants cuddles, he will have to explicitly ask for them.
Content: Sukuna/Reader, silly, jealous sukuna, toji cameo, unwelcomed flirting, cursing.
div. k1ssyoursister - masterlist
Tumblr media
It always starts with Sukuna sitting a little bit closer than usual and being especially quiet.
It is the most subtle of changes, that’s why you miss it most of the time.
You sat on the sofa on your phone and Sukuna –who is normally a big fan of his personal space and is always keeping himself busy with something– sat on the other end of the couch and stared at the wall without saying anything.
When proximity was not enough to call your attention, he sighed loudly, spreading his legs on the cushions and his arms over the back of the couch. He throws his head back and looks at the ceiling, waiting for you to ask him what's wrong.
'Nothing' he would answer, and look away from you; so you would ignore it and keep doing your thing.
When being dramatic didn't work he would throw side glances your way, and you had to be very dense to miss them because he was in no way subtle about it. He would bounce his leg up and down, crack his neck and knuckles or even click his tongue. Anything but calling your name and telling you what he wanted.
Normally that would let you know he wanted something, but sometimes you had your mind on something else and you let it be.
If that didn't do the trick either you would be facing a problem, because Sukuna's next tactic to gain attention was starting a fight.
It was cute, needy Sukuna throwing a tantrum. You never knew why he refused to ask for a hug or to lay his head on your lap directly, but Sukuna's pouty lips had their charm. And today you felt like playing him around for a bit.
“The brat told me the cashier from the grocery store flirted with you again”, he suddenly spoke.
There it was.
He had the tendency to start fights when he wanted something from you because you had the habit of offering pets and kisses in exchange for forgiveness, or to help him calm down when he was particularly cranky.
It was true.
That morning Yuuji and you went to the store together to restock on food and snacks.
Sukuna had been up late trying to fix a plumbing issue in the bathroom so you didn't want to bother him so early in the morning, but postponing the task for later also felt like an inconvenience.
You called the youngest of the Itadori for some company and he turned up to be planning on running his errants as well. To celebrate such coincidence, you both agreed on going to a coffee shop together to have breakfast after going to the store while the grumpy ghoul slept.
So you picked Yuuji up and drived with him to the market, and you both got there early enough to avoid any of the exhausting waiting lines.
But after you finish gathering all the items on your list, because you were chatting with Yuuji the whole time, you didn't realize you both had queued behind a lady over that man's station.
The first time you crossed paths with this cashier a few weeks ago, his eyes had pissed you off a little bit, even when his words might have sounded sweet to anyone else. You thought a sterned look would be enough to shut him up for good, but apparently it wasn't because he had tried again that very morning.
It was infuriating.
You raged about the guy and his condescendent smile the whole way to the car. Yuuji had also wanted to go back and complain to someone about the man because he had also perceived his nasty attitude. You wished you could, but at the time you decided against it –for Yuuji's sake.
Yuuji was a ray of sunshine, always kind and smiling. But he was still an Itadori. His personality could be deceiving for what laid under the surface, he was just as predisposed to get into fights as his brother. Ugly fights.
You would get the guy next time. You couldn't afford getting Yuuji into trouble because of that asshole.
So you moved on with your day. Yuuji and you eventually forgot all about it after some cake and tea at the cafe, reason why the whole deal didn't come to mind when you finally came back home to a Sukuna that had just rolled out of bed on sweatpants and without a shirt on, and whose hair spiked in every direction. It was a sight that often made you forget about things.
But now that uncomfortable situation could be of use to you.
“Oh... Was that what it was?” You said non chantlant without lifting your eyes from your phone.
Sukuna scolded you with his expression, crossed his arms over his chest and asked, “Was it the same dude as last time?”
“Yeah… I think it was. The big guy with the black hair and the scar on his lip.” You saw him clench his jaw on the corner of your eyes. He sat up straight, fully turning at you with the whole intention of seeming offended.
“And what did you do about it?”, he asked with a stern voice.
You guessed deep down, it was annoying for him to hear about another guy flirting with his partner, but if that really were a problem for him he would be less sulky and more –like you said before– picking up the car and going to find the guy for a quick talk.
Right now Sukuna was probably half putting up an act, half wary about your odd reaction to him being defensive about something. Normally when he used that tone with you, you would match it, annoyed at him for talking to you as if accusing you of something.
You kept to your roll, not letting him stir you.
Calm and collected.
“There was not much to do about it. He just gave me a compliment, I said ‘thank you’ and paid for my groceries.”
In truth you told him to go to hell.
Maybe you should ask Sukuna to have a quick talk with the guy.
“Is that all? ‘Just a compliment’? Did you even mention that you had a boyfriend?”
Oh, the guy sure knew that. After all, the first time he hit on you Sukuna was right beside you and he was very vocal about what he thought he should do with his compliments.
“He didn’t ask.”
“He didn’t—?!”, he inhaled sharply. His next line was delivered between greeted teeth, “Don’t you remember how much you complained about him flirting with you even after you told him that we were there together, two weeks ago?”
“Yes, I remember. But if you think about it he wasn’t doing anything wrong.” Bullshit. You paused hiding a smirk, feeling his burning gaze of disbelief from the side. “Also, he’s very good looking. I was kind of flattered.” Yeah, right.
At your comment, Sukuna stood out from the couch as if his pants were on fire. “’Good looking’”, he repeated fuming, “’flattered’”.
“Yes,” you added for some flavor, “you don’t compliment me like you used to. It was nice to hear it.”
“THAT I DON’T—” Sukuna repeated as a broken record, incredulous.
Sukuna wasn't the type to give compliments with words. Yes, he said them because he knew you liked them, but when he actually saw something he liked about you he was more... physical about it. Pulling you close, kissing and staring in a way that made your skin tingle and your blood go hot. Sometimes he made you feel as if he could actually take a bite out of you, he would.
Sukuna walked the few steps that separated the two of you in a blink. You dropped your phone so you could see him in the eyes. One of his eyebrows twitched out of pure anger. Soon he was bending over you on the couch, both his hands pressing over the cushions next to each of your shoulders, cornering you.
“You’re needy for more of my attention, is that what you’re saying?”
You bit your lip to keep a smile from slipping out of you. You could never get enough of Sukuna's attention, that's for sure. You reinforce your serious expression. “I kind of do, yes.”
His nostrils flattered open as he snorted at your complaint.
“C’mon, Suku”, you chimed, seeing your scheme work. “Don’t be angry. I know you don’t do it on purpose.” You flashed an angelic smile at him, “No hard feelings, really. Why don’t you lay on the sofa so I can give you pets?”
“I don’t want your pets”, he bit off.
Ding, ding, ding!
We have a winner!
“You are right,” he said while still looking enraged, “I neglected you, let’s fix that right now.”
Yes! Let's fix that– wait.
It took you a second to understand what he meant but it was long enough for you to not be able to react in time to avoid the way he locked his hands on your hips.
“Suku, wait.” You tried to stop him but your protest fell on deaf ears as he used all his strength to pick you up from the couch. “Suku! You're gonna drop me, hold on.”
Sukuna lifted you up without showing much effort, in a way that left you no other choice but to wrap your legs around his waist for balance. He adjusted your weight so he could hold you properly.
“Don’t get all cranky now, I’m trying to mend my mistake.” You held on to him as best as you could, pirsing the back of his neck with your nails, while he walked with you on his arms towards the other side of the room. "Poor you, needing strangers to compliment you because your boyfriend wouldn't do his job right."
“Suku, it was a joke!”
“Joke or not, it’s true that I haven’t taught you some manners in a while.” He said and he kicked the bedroom door open.
You let out a high pitched cry, and like that, both of you disappear into your bedroom.
A/N: imagine sukuna as a ravish dog you can unleash to go after men that annoy you on the streets.

The problem with making a space physically accessible is that it is only one part of the whole “accessibility” problem. But because physical access plays such a prominent role in making a place accessible, people have a tendency to think of it as the only thing needed to make a space inclusive, but accessibility is so much more than that. Access isn’t just about curb cuts and automated doors, it’s also about the power structures, systems, and societal attitudes that keep disabled folks (especially mobility aid users) out of public spaces.
Just because you add an accessible bathroom stall and an automatic door to a few buildings on campus, doesn’t mean your university is accessible. A few floor plan changes aren’t going to fix systemic discrimination built into the education system. What good is an accessible university in a town with no public transportation? What good are scholarships when they force someone to choose between education and healthcare? Claiming that a space is accessible without addressing the systems connected to it is like putting a toilet in the middle of a field and claiming you have working plumbing: you can pretend everything is fine for a while, but eventually people are gonna realize you’re full of shit.
If you want to make a place truly accessible, you need to focus on more than just grab bars and door widths. You need to also focus on the less obvious barriers to access: transportation, housing, health insurance, cost of living, etc. For example: you offer a paid internship at your company in a major city. Rent is expensive, but most of your interns have been able to find a decent place to live in some of the older neighborhoods/buildings in the area. However, these older buildings don’t have elevators and only have apartments on the 2nd floor and up. Your wheelchair‐using intern is going to have to decline your offer because they would have to live in more modern (and much more expensive) apartments in order to have a place to live and they can’t afford to do so on the salary you offer. You can add all the grab bars you want to that bathroom, but your internship isn’t going to be accessible until the systemic issues connected to it (lack of accessibility in housing) get resolved.
The good news is that there is one thing you can do to really help disabled folks: vote. Vote often, and vote correctly. That’s right: I said vote correctly. If you jump into a voting booth and vote against things like public transportation, rent control, funding for special education, government regulation of healthcare costs etc., you’re not being an ally to disabled folk. Instead, you’re furthering the systems that make things like access to higher education, employment, and housing truly inaccessible.

Sunday Steve - Day Eleven
Things that would be new or unfamiliar to Steve in the 21st century, either due to the time period he grew up in, or his social-economic status and other such factors.
Day Eleven: Toilet Paper
People used many things as toilet paper before commercial toilet paper was available. As indoor plumbing became more common toilet paper became more necessary because pipes were not designed for almanac pages or newspapers.
In the late 1800s toilet paper was still a luxury but it was being developed. "In 1890, toilet paper started to look a lot more like stuff we’re used to seeing today. It came on a roll in perforated sheets. It was a tough sell though because no one wanted to admit to buying it. In Germany, a company called ‘ Hakle’ overcame the problem with the slogan “ask for a roll of Hakle if you don’t want to say toilet paper.” (Link)
Tumblr media
Late 1800s toilet paper. 2500 sheets.
Charmin began marketing its toilet paper around its softness in 1928, as well as selling economy-sized packs of four rolls in 1932 (Link).
There were two types of toilet paper. Soft and hard. "The hard paper was more affordable and was very shiny on one side of it" (Link). Hard paper often had printed text on it (most of the examples I've found are British).
Every source I've found says that toilet paper began to be advertised as "splinter free" in the 1935. Most casual articles don't dig into what this actually means, but I found some ads for the infamous splinter free toilet paper.
Splinters resulted from the manufacturing process, and as you can see in the below images the splinters were usually very small. I haven't been able to find out how genuinely inconvenient this splinters were.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1930s toilet paper ad (Link) (Link)
You can see the various marketing methods for soft toilet paper, treating it like a medical issue and appealing to women.
You can also see 3 rolls being sold for 20-25 cents. I think that is very expensive for toilet paper in the 30s. I've found a source showing 2 rolls of Clifton toilet paper being sold for 9 cents in 1932. (Link) And this link shows 4 rolls of crepe toilet paper being sold for 19 cents in 1930 (Link is behind a pay wall but I managed to download the price list). I'm guessing the rolls in the splinter-free ads are soft toilet paper, and the cheaper examples I found are hard toilet paper.
Tumblr media
1930 grocery price list. Toilet paper is the third item, listing four crepe rolls for 19 cents.
In 1940 one roll is being sold for 15 cents (Link), but it's not clear if this is soft or hard toilet paper. I'm guessing soft since it's almost the price of four rolls in 1930.
My guess is Steve paid around 9 cents for 2 (19 cents for 4) rolls of hard toilet paper. I doubt he bought soft toilet paper since it cost about 20-25 cents for 2-3 rolls. But I can't know the prices for sure.
One thing for sure is modern toilet paper is softer than the paper Steve would have bought. Britain didn't even start manufacturing 2-ply toilet paper until 1942. Over the years soft toilet paper become the norm (although institutions like schools often have thinner, harder paper).
Given this information, Steve would probably be used to buying harder, cheaper toilet paper for about 9 cents for 2 rolls/19 cents for 4 rolls. Soft 'expensive' toilet paper would be surprising as the norm, and I think he'd find our massive packs of toilet paper shocking. Although as we'll see, soldiers were provided Waldorf paper, which seems to be a more softer, expensive brand.
Army Toilet Paper
Soldiers were provided toilet paper with K-rations and later with C-rations. A soldier would get one accessory packet a day with either ration and it came with twelve sheets of Waldorf toilet paper.
Tumblr media
(Link) Accessory packet with Waldorf toilet paper.
You may have seen the factoid that British soldiers were rationed 3 sheets of toilet paper per day compared to American soldiers having 22 sheets. I believe this is a misinterpretation of this book discussing the resources available to American soldiers on base in Britain (pg. 288). But after further research I think the actual number of sheets British soldiers got a day on the front was 4 sheets. (Link) American soldiers got 12 sheets included in their K-ration. (Link)
If a soldier ran out of toilet paper they most likely had to make do. I've seen stories of pages from books being used, or even paper bills. (Link)
Bonus
First paper towels sold 1931 (Link).
Tumblr media
1936 paper towel ad
Facial tissue paper originated from gas mask filters in World War One. Kleenex were marketed as a cold cream and makeup remover in the 20s and began being marketed for colds in the 30s. (Link)
Tumblr media
1930 ad for Kleenex for 25 cents.
Personally, I don't think Steve would have spent money on either of these things, but they did exist.

Bangchan vs Home Depot Manager
‐-------------------------------------
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
----‐------------------------------------
Bangchan x reader
Warnings: none
Imagine: bangchan defends you from your mean home depot boss
----------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
You sigh, just another boring day working at home depot. You were working outside in the garden area, its dirty but you dont mind it. Youre not like the other home depot employees, you actually like being outside. You were getting a plant vase when all of a sudden, someone bumped into you!! The vase dropped, shattering and even pieces of it cutting your cheek. "Ah! Hey!!" You turn around. It was your boss!!
"Stupid YN!" He yelled. "Thats home depot property you just broke!! You lost the company money! I cant believe they hired a woman. Youre too weak to work here!"
You start tearing up. But he just continues yelling "idiot women are too weak and dumb. Now you owe us money!"
All of a suddem you hear another voice behind you. "Hey!" It said.
You turn around, youre hair whipping in the wind. You find a beautiful boy with blue hair along with a bunch of other super cute guys. When youre eyes met, you blushed and he seemed to be struck too. But then he went up to your boss. "She wasnt too weak to hold it, you bumped into her and now youre bullying her for it!"
"Who the freak do you think you are?"
"Im bangchan, and Im not an idiot like you obviosuly. Women arent weak or stupid. You need to apologize. Or else."
Banchan looked so menacing it made you pee your pants a little bit. His dark eyes bored into your boss's skull. The rest of the gang stood by him also menacingly. Still your manager didnt back down. "Or else what?"
Tumblr media
Bangchan pushed you behind himself protectively, then with his muscely arms, he wound up and threw up punch right on your managers face!!
The manager started to cry and ran away. Bangchan turned around to you. He saw the cut on your cheek and put his hand there. "Are you okay??"
You blushed furiously with his warm hand on your face, a hand that had fought for you! "Im- im okay. Thank you so much!!" You teared up again.
"I just cant believe he was bullying you like that. Why dont you quit if your boss is so mean?
"I cant- i have to take care of my family."
He nodded , his fluffy blue hair bouncing. "By the way, can you show me where plumbing is?"
"Of c-c-course." You stuttered a little, still flustered from when his hand had gently touched your face. You started walking to plumbing, the group of boys behind you.
"What do you need in plumbing?
"The biggest plunger you have"
One of the boys in the back spoke up. "Bangchan pooped so hard it clogged the whole houses plumbing!!"
Bangchan blushed and smacked the back of his head. "Shut up hyunjin!! Its a lie. The toilet just broke cuz its old."
"Its okay, "you said. "Our toilet is clogged too but i cant afford a plumber." You want to tear up, thinking about all the money your parents waste on drugs and alcohol, but you push back the tears.
You found the plungers, grabbed the biggest one home depot offered, and handed it to him.
Tumblr media
Your hands brushed as he grabbed it and you quickly drew your hand away to brush your hair out of your face in embaressment.
"Cute" he whispered under his breath.
"What?"
"Oh heck did i say that out loud?"
All the guys started laughing at him, one of them rolling on the floor. It made you giggle.
"Do you need anything else?"
"No this is it"
You start to turn around when he suddenly reached out and grabbed your arm, "Wait!"
You turn around. "Yes?
"Will you go out with me?"
You gasped, so excited. "Of, of course!!"
"Ill take you on the nicest date ever, and then I can go over and use my new plunger to fix your toilet too."
"But but i cant pay you-"
"Its for free. Cause I like you, YN"
"No ones ever done this for me... can i hug you?"you ask.
He smirked and opened up his arms. You ran to him. Wrapping your arms around him, not caring that your still wearing your home depot apron. You can smell the faint odor of poop on him as you hug, breathing in his air, but you dont mind. "Thank you for being my home depot hero"
"Of course baby" bangchan said.
The End

Queer Couple's Home Flooded! Legal & Repair Fund on GoFundMe
Hey everyone, we could really use your help. It's taken me a long time to be able to write this and post this, not because I didn't want to, but because it's so difficult to think through everything that happened in this terrible situation to be able to explain it. No one in this house is very healthy after what happened. I will update with a photo and video when my husband ( @mysterious-dark-shadow ) is awake. I just really wanted to finally get this up. I am really worried for us. Please signal boost and please donate if you can. Text from the fundraiser that explains our situation is below the cut.
My husband and I, and our three cats, are being sued by a construction company after the company left our toilet on the balcony of our house and still claimed they'd completed all the remodeling work. We need a legal fund, and that's what this here is all about.
What happened? In early spring our house's plumbing flooded part of our house with sewage water, requiring us to move out for a few months and live in a hotel room with our three cats. After we moved back in around late May, we got very sick and found one thing after another wrong with the house that the contractors should have fixed, and sometimes didn't notify us were broken. Our house has no hot water because the hot water heater was left leaking so bad it's inoperable. The electric system was overloaded by the water heater arcing into it and we don't have working stoves. The washing machine and dryer were left unhooked by the contractors and until we have an electrician (which we have to be able to afford) look at them we don't want to risk what they'll do to the electric breaker box. So we've been having to rely on a laundromat to do laundry all this time as well. The house feels filthy and disgusting and everyone in it is depressed.
But that wasn't the worst part. The worst part is that since they left a big open sewer hole in our bathroom instead of installing the toilet, when we first moved in we got sick from the sewer gas coming out of it. The sewer gas contains methane (natural gas), which can't kill you, but it can make you very sick and give you hallucinations. I am still mentally recovering from this. I have not been able to write this fundraising description for a long time because I am still so messed up from everything that happened and all the things I saw that weren't real, the experiences I had that were awful and just felt like I was in the upside-down. My husband suffered similar effects and is still recovering as well. Because of this it's been really hard to talk to other people about what happened and to clearly ask for help.
Since we moved back in we've been fending off the construction company who was immediately demanding the rest of payment for a job they left incomplete, then suing us using a lien they'd placed on the property. If we lose the suit, our house could be foreclosed upon to pay off the amount of the lien. It has been a very difficult situation to defend legally because it took some time before we could find a lawyer willing to defend us in the suit because the amount the contractors are suing for (lowish five figure amount) is too low for most lawyers to find desireable, and also, it's just hard to find a lawyer if you're not rich. If we win the suit, then we can get the construction company to pay our legal fees... but we have to GET there, and the actual case hearing is all the way in February.
We could really use some help when it comes to this. I'm disabled and my husband's job is close to minimum wage. We were already struggling as a household before all this happened and we've been trying for almost an entire year to try and make things work. Our families have been extremely unsupportive of us as a gay trans couple and so we have very few people to ask for help. We've been trying to do what we can to make extra money, but it's been really hard to get the hustle out when neither of us have had a real shower or bath in over two months. Also, our insurance company, who suggested the contractor in the first place, has been of very little help and has been adding red tape in the way of getting proper reimbursement for everything that happened and everything that was lost.
I'll be honest, what I want most is to be able to buy my husband a Christmas present this holiday season, even a small one, because we really just don't have enough for that. We don't have enough for hardly anything and we're being forced to fight this battle that makes no sense. So please if you have it to spare this season, help us keep our house, our cats, our marriage, and our sanity.
Thank you and I hope you and yours stay warm, safe, clean and fed this season and into the new year.

I'm doing virtual knit night with the Karens (the two who are always there are both named Karen), my friends from back home in Wisconsin. They're not your typical Karens, but they are both very well off and about 60. One is a construction director at the big healthcare system in the area and the other is retired from a major pharmaceutical company (once you put in a certain number of years you're eligible for retirement).
I was telling them about our plumbing woes and how Spouse is really upset we can't afford to rearrange the kitchen right now (it'd require moving walls for it to be what they want to do). And when I'm telling the Karens about this, they're all, "You should do it! It'd be a good time to do it."
"We'd have to get new cabinets though."
"Well, yeah. But you might as well!"
Oh, Karens. Pharma Karen redid her kitchen because it was "off center." Healthcare Karen was debating several years ago whether she should go on a $4000 Disney cruise with her sister and nephews.
Yeah, we barely can afford this plumbing repair (repiping the kitchen sink drain all the way to the basement). We definitely don't have several grand to buy new countertops and cabinets. Even if we get them from the ReStore or Reuse Depot like we're planning on doing (people give away nice shit, which I'm sure Pharma Karen's contractors did when she redid her kitchen), it's still going to be a lot of money. We're not even buying a new faucet even though Spouse hates our current one.
I love these ladies. They threw us a wedding shower and were super generous with their wedding gifts. They were there for me when my mom died unexpectedly when we were on a girls' knitting trip. But they are so out of touch with what it's like to be starting out in your careers. It's been decades for them. They can't seem to understand what it's like and it's kinda frustrating.
