I currently have plumbers replacing all the water meters in the building. It has so far taken an hour and a half, with no sign of stopping. (And of course the water is shut off, to the considerable inconvenience of Me, and the even greater inconvenience of downstairs tenants, since they didn't have time to prepare, since I didn't realise that these guys were going to do All the meters.)
And that would be bad enough, except I also had plumbers in (for inspection, rather than work, admittedly) on Boxing Day, and I get to have at least two more come by next week.
whut
Homeownership is overrated.

ANyway, in about an hour I'm headed out (with the last-minute substitution of New!Gf for The Teenager) to drive up to Portsmouth and do Christmas/rando gift exchange with my immediate family+partners.
Possibly the plumbers will even be done sawing through pipes by then.
