Default Well I guess shit really does come in three's..

We finally bit the bullet to go ahead and have Jr. replace our AC units since we've procrastinated enough. Even though that is needed that is number one shit. So earlier this week the Exploder blew a spark plug out of the head and when I tried to put it back in I found out all the threads were stripped. So I've been forced to DD the Cobra that has a vacuum leak and I really shouldn't be driving it until I fix it. That's number two shit. Number three I found out today after I got home that we had a pipe burst and the foundation is leaking! There is a ton of water underneath the wood floors we just layed down by the back door, so much so that they are already starting to curl up. The whole back patio is covered in water. That is number three shit. I just took over a new health club and am literrally there 6 days a week from 10am to 10pm trying to get it off the ground so I have zero time to deal with other garbage! I'm soooooo pissed off right now!!!! If anybody feels kind enough I bought a repair kit for the head but honestly don't feel comfortable enough doing it I would really appreciate some help. I'll gladly pay for the services and provide the beer! With that being said I'm going to get get hammered and watch a movie!

The kit that I bought comes with an insert that screws into the head.

sit a dehumidifier in the house if your floors are already showing signs of cupping.

Well we got lucky! Turns out when the plumber installed my hot water heater that went out a few months ago he cracked some lines that have been slowly leaking. A few fittings and lines from Lowes and no more water. I've got some fans on the floors and we'll see if they dry out before I tear them up.
