Don't Get Caught in This Trap . . .

By
Home Inspector with Complete Home Inspections, Inc. TN Lic#050

Remember when you were a kid and sang songs like "Here we go loop de do, Here we go loop de lie . . ." Nothing wrong with happy songs and a happy plumbers. I guess that we could all use a little more happiness in our lives. But, all I could think of when I saw this menagerie under the sink in a house in East Nashville, was our old friend "Bubba" with his plumbers crack just a shinin' while he was just a hummin' and a singin' along as if he were watching the bouncing ball at a Mitch Miller concert - Now I am telling my age

I recon' that he should have paid a little more attention to what he was doing because now it will cost the sellers a song and dance to have a real plumber come out and fix this mess.

Ya' know, ya still gotta give our Ol' friend Bubba a grade of "I" for Inventing a new way to give new meaning to the word ambidextrous - ie, he can mess a job up with either hand.

Have you joined my birthday alarm? It is fast painless and the best part of all, you will be helping me out.

Because I need your help, subscribe to my blog.

I guess plumbing is not all that it is cracked up to be.  So will this contraption make it easier to remove my diamond earrings the next time they do down the drain>

Thanks for the laugh, I knew I subscribed to your blog for a good reason,  when things start going south, I know that I can always come over here and get a great laugh.  The things you find is enough to crack up any good home inspector....  I stay on the watch for photos like this in Atlanta, but I guess for the moment Bubba moved to Tn.  lol
