general

its back now

tell us when your roof collapses on you as well

I have a picture of the setup I build as a quick fix

that I am impressed with

I have to edit out my address though

Pika built his own shack on a flood plain

so, the water tank is on the right, we had a problem that we could not get a big bucket where the water was dripping (it was actually projectile shooting, but we put Plasticine and duck tape to force it to drip). So, in order to move the drip to somewhere we could put a big bucket, I zip tied a funnel to the pipe, then taped a rubber tube to the funnel

Not in a situation to fix the pipe today

so this'll be the solution for now

lol

"eh fuck it, let's just leave this until tomorrow"

here's a better picture of just the setup

well, my mom does not know how to fix it, and while I think I could fix it since I know how to sodder, I don't know where my dad keeps that stuff (and we'd have to shut off the water to let it dry)

and my dad is not hope

he isnt home either

I hate it when dad isn't hope :(

its just easier to force the city to do it since they put it in

they have to fix it for free

damn

dame

no hope

dame

no hope dad

also, why is your city installing the pipes in your boiler room?

its common in this area to rent your water tank from the city

so they set it up and fix it if it breaks

you're in a single-family house right?

yes

I could see communal tanks in a duplex or something

but I can't figure out why the city would own your water tank

you pay 13 a month to rent it versus the 1k+a few hundred for installation to own it

I think its just cheaper

but it costs more after <10 years to rent it

I'll accept that it's probably cheaper to rent it

I just can't get over how odd it'd be to have the city own part of your house

basically renting gives a lifetime warranty where they fix/replace the thing if needed

oh I totally get it, it's just strange is all

but yeah, its just an ontario thing

the other provinces do not do this

weird

I just mitigated the damage

Putting my physics degree to work by doing engineering tasks

I was looking at that article

lol

related: you're poor

wait

this article says some Ontarians rent their fridges too

wtf

we own ours

I don't know about that

I think thats less common

water boilers make sense somewhat

but

a fridge?

AC units too

YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND RENT EVERYTHING AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY

We own our AC too

it's all heavily subsidized

so like Pika says, they're kind of paying for it already via taxes

might as well rent I guess

just fuckign weird to have the city be your landlord essentially

I wonder if they can repo your water tank

I have never heard of that happening

No hot water for you

>they come in and turn the hot water valve off, I turn it back on

"They were very hesitant to tell me the buyout price. Tried to discourage me with warning such as excessive repair cost that I may have to incur in case the water heater breakdown; and offered 4 months of free rental"

>do not buy the heater please here have 4 free months

lol

but yeah, +1 to the weird things in canadia land that confuse spooky

I guess

lol

"Personified female racing horse reduces women to just animals and slaves"
