Thomas was beginning to think that getting the house in livable condition was going to be an unending and eternal task. He'd fixed the roof, and had thought that was incredible progress, but now it seemed that every time he turned around, something else was breaking inside the house. And Thomas was not a plumber, or an electrician, or any sort of builder. In fact, he was making the progress he had so far simply by googling the problem and watching how-to videos on YouTube.
So far, he'd managed not to kill himself, but he was convinced that was just dumb luck.
This morning, he was trying to fix the faucet in the kitchen sink, which had started spraying water everywhere whenever you turned it on. Lydia had been rather displeased this morning when she had received a second shower from it.
He was going to do this the easy way, and just buy a new faucet, but their funds were limited, so he was standing in the aisle, debating whether he should pay a little more for a better one, or buy a cheap one and hope it didn't break before he'd gotten everything else done.
He sighed, running a hand through his hair.
"Ugh, why did we even buy this house?" He moaned to whoever happened to be nearby.
