I don't know why Our Lord insists on punishing me solely via plumbing leaks, but he's done it again. The toilet broke right before I got in the shower and sprayed/leaked/whatever all over the floor for 10 minutes:



I shut off the water and threw a shitload of towels down on the floor and then ran downstairs to this:



Except that's like an hour later, so it was a lot worse before. Threw down a bunch of towels and tupperware containers and then came back later and replaced them with better/deeper containers:



I called Servpro and they sent out some people. Last time I had a leak I didn't call someone like them and my insurance company said I probably shoulda so this time I did. They put tape all over everything:





Then they did this, I'm not sure why, but I hear spray paint sounds coming from inside it so I think maybe they're going to paint a motorcycle in there or something:



Then they told me they were gonna take a lunch break so I was like cool, while you're doing it I'm going to run up to the gas station and get a pint of rum since I had to take the day off and since this sucks rear end I might as well at least be drunk for it. Except when I was about to leave one of them came back in and asked to use the microwave and I said sure and now 25 minutes later he's still sitting in my living room using his cooler as a chair and eating his lunch and watching youtube videos on his phone.

I'm gonna try and get a picture of him but if he sees me doing it it could get awkward.

Sorry this thread sucks but I figured people could laugh at me and tell me how much this is going to cost and probably point out why I'm an idiot.

Now they brought in a bunch of these things:



and these things:



And they put plastic all over the place which the cats hate walking on so it's pretty funny to see them trying to go up and down the stairs using the 3" that isn't covered by plastic, but I think they must have put it down for some reason beyond that:



I didn't get a picture of the lunch eater, right after I posted the other two guys came back in and they went back to work.

Maybe I'm a weirdo but it seems pretty loving odd to me to sit in my living room on a cooler eating your lunch while your two coworkers are sitting out in the vans. I should make the bastard go buy me a bottle of rum.

My insurance is built into my mortgage payment otherwise I would undoubtedly have let it lapse. But I'm sure they'll probably now drop me and I'll have to get whatever the home insurance equivalent of SR-22 drunk driver car insurance is.

They finished assembling the spray booth and went outside, I think to get the motorcycle frame.

Now they rigged this up, I think so all my blood will get sprayed outside for easy hosing off once they're done with me.



But while they were doing it I crept past them and got to my guns, so now I'm sitting in a kitchen chair eyeing them suspiciously with an AR-15 on my lap.

OP is a girl?

*frantically tries to remove ring and work up a boner at the same time.*

So if the leak is in the bathroom why is he in your living room tearing up the ceiling?
