long showers

My daughter takes long showers. 40 minute showers So this morning she's doing the shower marathon and I decide to go downstairs to get my detecting equipment to load in the truck. I hear water dripping ::huh:: Go in the laundry room and its like a waterfall >:{ >:# >:/ WATER EVERYWHERE!!! >:/ The drain pipe P-trap to the bathtub rotted out and there's a 1/4 x 2 long split in the pipe. Went to take the nuts off for the P-trap and the top pipe breaks >:{ >{ >:/ So after I drive her to work I'll run over to home cheapo and get the parts to fix it. And Mike and I had plans to hit a new spot today, a 1700s private property!! :crying02: Another day in the life of pulltabsteve.............
Have a nice day everyone!

Just 40 minutes Steve ?? my 17 year old has held the record at our house at an hour and 10 minutes and usually averages about 50 minutes :eyebrow: sorry to hear about the pipe and the unwanted work needed to fix it . no get out there and find some good stuff.

Wow, that's some seriously long showers. I'd be >:#

If my kid took 70 minute showers I'd be putting in a campers solar shower outside that uses saved rain water! Project all completed. thumbsup01 Everything went smooth. :bananadance: Now, shop vac up some water, throw out what got ruined and see if we can get out and detect. eace:

I'd rig the hot water tank to shut off after 10 minutes lol Sorry about the water. Get it quick and run a dehumidifier or a lot of fans before it molds over. Them colonial items can wait one more day for you Steve

You guys are a lot nicer than me... I used to shut the hot water off in the basement all the time when the showers got too long. lol

Good luck with repairs Steve!
