Any of you had problems with that shit this winter? It's a regular war zone here, complete with floods, craters, concrete rubble and the lot. They could film the fucking sequel to The Day After in my APT tonight.
We live in a trailer house...so we have these problems regularly. Luckily trailer houses have PVC plumbing, so replacing pipes is a piece of cake.
A pipe ontop of my bathroom broke today. All apartment was flooded with shitwater. I had to deal with the rednecky maintenance crew for hours. ...and then I had to bleach fucking everything. Plus, my Dostoyevski bathroom literature got soaked. No fun.
The radiator pipe in the apartment I squat at exploded. There were like, twelve of us, all wasted as shit like, "What the fuck is that sound?", go into the other room, and it's full of steam and flooding. Shit was crazy, we started chucking everything in Matt's room out into the dining room and living room, then it started flooding in Scott's room, too... Oh, what a night.
TELL me about it! Except in New York they are all Greek. I lost about 80 books I was selling to this dealer too. Money down the fucking drain. But at least mine was boiler water, not shit water. Yikes! I could still invite a lady over tonight. She's going to have to be into dungeons and bdsm roleplay, though.
fuck, i got so lucky one day. I was supposed to leave for California one winter. I changed my mind last minute.Later that day I hear water running. My search yielded results that I didnt care for. A pipe had burst and was rapidly filling the crawl space. Had I gone to Cali, it would have been a huge huge tragedy.
Did you guys know that when a pipe steams, it is broken somewhere down its length? Just learned that today. Courtesy of the crusty Greeks.
i'm glad i read this thread at frist i thought u guys were talking about the kinda pipe u smoke out of...
ive been running water... im afraid theyre going to bust. the temp was in the 60's (F) a few days ago, and its snowing today. and getting worse.
it's been about a year since i've broken a pipe, but it was so sad how it happened. i dropped it on the ground, but the mouthpiece just broke off cleanly leaving it still perfectly usable. so of course, exactly one week later i dropped it again and the results were not so positive. as far as a water pipe, i don't believe i've ever had one of those break (although i was there when my friend's bong broke... ). but once when i lived in a basement apartment, the toilet above me on the fourth floor started leaking and i ended up with an inch of toilet water covering my whole floor. turns out the people on the first, second, and third floors weren't home, and the guy with the leaky toilet was just ignoring it and hoping it would resolve itself. so i got to come home from work at 1 a.m. and mop as fast as i could, futily.
All my life, up until now, I've lived in a house that had a crawl space. I got adjusted to letting the water run so the pipes wouldn't freeze in the cold. A couple weeks back, I let the water run, because it was freezing out. Roommate asked me what I was doing, we have a basement....wth heat....no need to let the water run. Haha I felt like sucha dope.
