here i am, thinking i'm gonna be able to just go ahead and fix my drippy bathtub faucet but of course there'd be hurdles.

tried to do it yesterday but ain't have the tools to turn my water on and off cuz my shit is curbside. had to call ouc to come and do it this morning and them bitches got here early as fuck. they woke my ass up. but it wasn't for nothing. i found out what tool they use and went and bought one during my runs to ace, home depot, and lowe's; none of them had the plumbing parts i needed but i at least found out the manufacturer.

since my house was built in 1959, i'm seeing that them shits is hard to come by. i got crane-repcal parts. few companies got the diverter and stems i need. but i did find one that had both: kissler. prob is that you can't buy direct from them. you gotta go through a company that sells their shit. no way to cut out the middleman. they gave me some numbers. called hd supply, got transfered 4 FUCKING TIMES until i finally ended up with some motherfuckers voice mail. FURK DAT! that company is officially a fucking joke to me.

called another plumbing supply store and got prompt service. waiting for a call back to see if we can work on getting those parts for a good price. if not them, i got other options. but at least the ball is rolling. good thing i got 2 bathrooms cuz otherwise i'd be fucked. i ain't put the shit i took apart back together. put 'em in place so shit wouldn't leak as much but i'll wait till i get my parts to finish the job.

planned on doing some job hunting today and making some phone calls but i've been dealing with this shit since early morning. i'm tired. i'll get back on track tomorrow.
