Worst Day Ever,
Where do I start. From the beginning.
Woke up around 10:30am.
The plan was go to home depot, drop mail off at the post office, eat lunch, mow my grandparents lawn. seems like easy enough tags.
So me and my uncle head off to home depot. on our way he wants to stop and make an appointment at his barber. when we're leaving we back up into on of those short poles in the parking lot. well the truck is so high, and the pole already bent from being hit looks like multiple times, goes under the truck and we cant get it back out from underneath it. so call a tow truck to lift up the back of the truck and get the pole out.
no off to the post office, drop off the mail without a problem.
then we went to home depot bought some yard stuff and are on our way to my grandparent's. well we got hungry, this is like 1:30 now, so we go to chili's and everythings good still. my uncle has to go get his haircut after lunch so i go and buy a new spark plug for the lawnmower. well when i get back i hear this air hissing sound. I look in my back tire and theres an allen wrench in my tire, so now my tire has a piece of metal in it so i wiggled it and it stopped leaking. don't have time to go fix this today so i left it.
so far thats 2 bad things right?
now we're off to my grandparent's again to finally mow their lawn. we get there i mow the back my uncle mows the front and everythings good.
One last thing before we leave. we have to turn on the sprinkler system fo the first time this year. we what we thought was opening the valves out side and closed the bleed valves. now step 2 is to go in the basement and turn on the water supply to the sprinklers, so i do that. we mess with the sprinkler controller and the sprinklers arent going on, so we go outside and check whats wrong. i mess with the valves and turns out they were on when we got there (were supposed to be off) so we actually shut them the first time and now i opened them. immediately the sprinklers kick on so we fixed that. packing up stuff now from doing the lawn and my uncle goes inside to check out the house and lock it up. well he runs outside and grabs a huge bucket saying we have a problem in the basement. turns out when we first turned those valves off (thinking we were turning them on) and then opening the water supply that pressure blew the valve off the water supply to the toilet. so the bathrooms flooded and tons of water is pouring from the ceiling in the basement. tons of water had 2 wet vacs, ton of towels, and a mop. hour later we had everything soaked up and were finally able to leave. i think that just about ended that day.
one more little thing, we were on our way home and tailgate wasnt shut all the way so the gas can fell out onto the road. coulda done without that.
now it's 8pm getting ready to eat dinner and im exhausted.
