The Domino effect of super glue

So the water filter in the kitchen has been leaking. The door handle on the front door has been coming off. My bathroom door is loose. The shower head has all the little plastic pieces that squeeze the water into a jet broke off(well, I did that trying to fix it.. oops).

So I bought a new shower head and put that on. Easy.

Called the buidling haras to fix the water leak. He came, looked, and then went for his tool box. Dumb. I called for a plumber.

So I decided to work on the door while he was here. The face plate was loose on the outside and one of the screw holes was stripped. I put super glue on both screws and screwed them back in with my pocket multi-tool. Easy. The handle comes off leaving the shaft sticking out. It matches up square shaft inside square handle hole. So I put some super glue on the shaft and put the handle back on. Leave it sit.

I go back and check on the dude in the kitchen. He put in a new filter! How nice. He says all good. I thank him. So I ask him to look at the door that won't shut right. We like to shut the kitchen door so we can't hear the washing machine. It hits in the bottom corner. He gets out a screw driver and chips away at the corner of the frame. I'm impressed. I didn't think of that. I was going to sand it down. Then he tries to bend the door. I'm no longer impressed.

I go back to check on the front door and let him be stupid by himself. I grab the handle and now the handle comes off with the shaft attached! Crap. Not what I wanted to happen! So I go get the super glue. I put glue on the other end of the shaft and hope I am not permanently fixing the door handle in one position. As I am putting the glue on all four sides and thinking ahead, instead of focusing, I drip super glue down the front knee of my $70 sun pants that I love. Shit! I shove the handle back in and hope for the best and run for the bathroom. The label doesn't say anything other than flush with water. I know better than to believe that but I try anyways. I change into some shorts. The glue went through to my knee. Don't care about my knee. I rinse the pants in hot water. The drain plug doesn't work. I put a plastic bag in the sink with the pants in it. I turn the water on.

I go to check on the dude. He's done all good. He leaves. I start to clean up the water on the floor. I hear it.... Crap. I run back to the bathroom and the floor is covered in water. But as always, there is the silver lining. The entire apartment is tile and there is raised door jam on the floor to the bathroom. There is also a drain in the middle of the floor. So I get the squeegy and presto, the floor is almost dry. I drain the sink and put my pants in the wash.

And best of all, the front door handle is fixed and works like a charm.

Let's hope the pants come out ok....
