    I met a marine mechanic once - he fixed Argos afterwards, which is how I met him. His saying:

    One [nut] for me, one for the bilge.

      Thank you to everyone in this thread who made me feel part of a community of my peers online for the first time, in a long time.

      Every plumbing project (even yesterdays quick upgrade of the kitchen faucet) is at least a 2 tripper. Each time I finish one I swear I’m never moving again. Then, 5 years later, I’m fixing the previous owners mishaps “one last time”.

      To all the people who’ve bought houses I lived in, I’m sorry for all of the " what was that idiot thinking" moments I’ve caused you. Ha

        Hmm from what you said it’s more like, “Yup, I can see what shit the last guy had to fix. Thanks friend I’ll never meet.”
