Today I discovered that plumbing is not for morons.
When someone that doesn't know exactly what they are doing attempts to 'fix' the kitchen sink, they should call for aid at the first sign of trouble, not try and fix it again to prove their worth.

How did you get my number?
Regardless, the Royal Plumber has told me that what happened wasn't completely your fault. While you did indeed move a couple of pipes, the previous owner had used the incorrect type for some repairs, making the whole structure completely unreliable.
You did, however, mix up the hot/cold hoses.
Your Princess,
Celestia
P.S. I will find out how you got my number.

There you go. XD
Thats why my story took so long to process :D
Eh, don't be so hard on yourself.
I can only imagine what just happened.
...So, how did it work out in the end?
And Thats How You Flood Your House
I can only begin to imagine what your kitchen/bathroom looks like now.
Congratulations, by learning this, you have graduated from moron to poor bastard with a big plumbing bill.
I'm sorry I wanted to post a comment but my neighbor just killed the water pressure in my neighborhood
Good luck with that.
inb4 you write a fic based on your experiences =p
Plumbing is one of those of things that is supposed to be a man thing but all men secretly fear.
That would be funny if it weren't so sad...
how bad was the flood damage?
My water heater exploded when I tried to fix it.
$6,000 down the drain
I feel like you're trying to tell us something with this blog post...
PS. could you please fix my kitchen sink?
If you can't fix it,
Ship it with Rainbowdash!
This is why I spend my time wasting space and oxygen while forcing household burdens on everyone else
...
...
I made myself sad now...
This reminds me of a few weeks back when me and the landlord were trying to fix the fuse box in the appartment building. It was also storming outside (not a very smart idea on our part) and we ended up blowing up the fuse box. Power was knocked out of the whole building for 3 days, I was lucky that I had a backup generater to get some emergancy power though.

As someone whose house flooded, I can only imagine you had the urge to find something that floated and kayak your way around the house.
But in all seriousness, I hope it wasn't anything major.

Yep, plumbing can be very complicated.
So long as you don't need a contractor to replace water logged walls, you did good.
167006 You get along with your landlord?
166959
Well you have been replaced, I don’t need anyone now; when I delete you maybe I’ll stop feeling so bad!
XD Couldn't resist!
... *Sghs* DELETEH... Y U NO LERN?! Lati! Smack him!

167230 Yeah he is a good friend of mine. Why'd you ask?
wanna kow what the worst part is? They'll never let you live it down if it was funny enough
So what is the Mushroom Kingdom like this time of year?
The cursing that accompanied the attempted install of my own replacement kitchen faucet was... epic. Still, it felt great once I got it done.
Until I noticed the leak.
BWAHAHAA
166996 agreed!
I once had to replace a kitchen faucet and the water lines connecting to it, it is a miracle nothing went wrong. I do not blame you. Plumbing is, like, hard.
Apparently, if the pressure builds up enough it could shoot something about 1/4 of a mile into the sky.

Yes! Thank you! Because of that picture I was able to find what you are using!dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Twilight_Sparkle_lolface.png
I have learned from the best...
lol, my mom refused to call a plumber to fix the basement toilet, which was leaking, and instead sent me to do it. I had never worked with plumbing EVER so I was surprised that I managed to make it work again, even for a few days. as I kinda hinted at in the last sentence it only lasted for a few days before the leak was three times as bad. to make a long story short it took until the toilet had broken to the point of me needing to build a freaking aqueduct to the nearest open drain out of soda bottles.
TL;DR I know that feel bro
I can do a decent amount of basic electrician work, but plumbing scares the poo (pun intended) right out of me.
And now you know, and knowing is half the battle!

The other half is violence!
168334 In a way yes, that's the other half but normally is divided into a 25% red lasers, and 25% blue lasers, but actually there's more than meets the eye into that
167269 no reason I hear most complain about theirs.
168661 He's a broney too.
168747 well I suppose that does change things. I didn't mean affend you if I did.

If I could fave a blog post... I would. This one. For the sheer hilarity of it.
I will not list how many times I've had to help my dad with plumbing because the sinks got clogged with girl hair.
There was grey sludge coming from the pipes, covering my dad's hand.
Grey!
My mom and sister have brown hair!
