Weekend was sh*t. Our tap was spitting out grainy black bits for some reason, google reckons it was a rotting washer, so I dediced to try and fix it up. How expensive could a washer be, right? </p>
<p>What happened:</p>
<p><strong>10.30am</strong><br />
<strong>Me :</strong> Hello Bunnings, I need new washers but you don’t sell them.<br />
<strong>Bunnings:</strong> Have these spares for free.</p>
<p><strong>M:</strong> I reckon it could be my hose too, but you don’t sell them<br />
<strong>B:</strong>  Yes, you have to buy a new tap, but we have a spare, have this for free.</p>
<p> Awesome. At home, I fit the washers as the hose doesn’t fit our pipe (??) and the washers are s**t and p**s everywhere.</p>
<p><strong>M:</strong> Hello Bunnings these washers are s**t and water is pis**ng everywhere. Here is my tap, look at it.<br />
<strong>B:</strong> Yes. I see the fittings are weird. Have these adapters for your pipes that you will have to buy. I will also be nice and fit this hose to your tap as you don’t have the correct tool</p>
<p>Awesome. At home, I fit the new fittings and they are even worse, water is everywhere and  I have no idea why. Although the hoses do not leak where Bunnings fitted them</p>
<p><strong>M:</strong> Hello. Again. Water is f*****g everywhere and those connections are s**t. Although your hoses are good.<br />
<strong>B:</strong> Ah yes, you need to cut your pipes and now fix these new connections that you need to buy.</p>
<p><strong>M:</strong> And the hose isn’t long enough.<br />
<strong>B:</strong> Buy an extension. And a new spanner to fit it.</p>
<p>At home, I fit it all in and it leaks a bit. I tighten the fittings and it seems to work. For about 30 mins. Then it starts leaking. And the hoses that bunnings fitted started leaking. I nearly top myself, it’s nearly 4pm and I have done NOTHING ELSE.</p>
<p><strong> Sunday 9am</strong><br />
<strong>M:</strong> Hello Bunnings, a fuc***g new tap please. And new fittings.<br />
<strong>B:</strong> A hundred bucks thanks.</p>
<p>I love plumbing.<br />
