Ain't plumbing grand?

How many trips have you had to make so far? I can never get anything done correctly until about the 5th trip to the hardware.

I think this was the Landlord's 5th trip. He took all the pipes out and to Home Depot to see if they could help. They went through joint by joint, and think each one should be fine now. He also put some pipe hanger underneath perpendicularly, so to quote the landlord, "If this still leaks, we'll blame evil spirits and hold a seance".

Before he fixed it though, he asked if it keeps breaking because of something with brewing (uh... no...) and told me that if I wanted a house that was in better shape I should move to a newer part of town when my lease is up. (Ok, I think I will, but that doesn't fix the leaky sink).

Here's hoping it's done now.

Your landlord is clueless. If he considers his time to be worth anything at all, he would have come out ahead calling a plumber vs making 5 trips himself.

Totally agree. I would have come out ahead if I had paid for the plumber 8 months ago, most likely.
