Home In The District: #HomeOwnerProblems

Our oil is somehow running low again. We must have a really inefficient system. I didn’t like the last woman we dealt with (“Do you know any men? You might try asking one of them; they usually know about this kind of stuff’.) I tried a company in DC and definitely got the “DC customer service experience.” However, $770 later, the tank is full and hopefully will last throughout the rest of winter. We have to figure out how to insulate our house before next winter, because $800/month for heat is just not going to fly.

Ben’s taking off work to be at the house for the stove delivery, and I got a text from him at 2pm that read as follows:

“#homeownerproblems I came home to find the pipe in the Cookie Monster bathroom (see picture) is completely removed from the faucet and spitting out water full speed into the bathroom. There’s a looooot of water, but I think we’re ok. It all leaked out the floor into the ground outside, and then into the basement through the door. There’s about an inch of water in the basement, but fortunately our floor is sloped so much it’s all held right by the door haha”
