It fucking figures. Call out a plumber to have him replace the washer hookup faucets (a ten minute job if you have the right tools and materials--which we didn't), and he looks up at the ceiling. "Um, the bathroom floor is rotting and someone's going to fall through the floor soon."

Probably several thousand dollars to fix it right. At least a grand even for the minimalist stop-the-leak-and-hope-the-rotten-subfloor-holds version, because it'll require tearing out the floor-floor to get at. And at the high end, the full-fledged bathroom remodel I'd always sort of wanted because the house doesn't have enough showers.

All with the added pressure due to the fact that I have leased the house to someone else and their lease starts today, although they're not here yet and haven't yet called to tell me when they're coming. I have no idea how they'll take the idea of having to have the house worked on around them, or whether the job can be done before they get here, or whether it will last until such time as they move on.

(And when am I going to get around to getting a "house/castle" icon?)

Limericks!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day later this month, and because I could use
some laughs, I propose a contest: dueling limericks at forty paces.
Enter yours here as a comment, and the best one, as judged by yours
truly on March 17th, will receive a St.-Pat's-themed prize (small and
inexpensive, most likely). Extra credit for "Irish" themes. (Yes, I put
it in scare quotes on purpose. I'm thinking more of the green shiny
silliness that pervades the USA during the month of March than of actual
Ireland.)

Here's one to hopefully get you inspired.

A randy young boyo called Sean
Fucked his girl every day on the lawn;
When his hairy white ass
Started growing green grass
The girl said, "It's time I moved on."
