It all started when the microwave went kaput.
We use our microwave every single day, so replacing it was absolutely necessary. And we did. And in the process, I noticed a refrigerator, which turned out to be completely wrong, but still got my parents (especially my mother, but me too, we all agreed) on a fridge kick. And so we replaced the refrigerator. It arrived yesterday, and we had to take off half of the doorframe between the living room and the kitchen in order to fit it in. (Which we wanted to do anyway, but still. That does need to be fixed. We've got raw wall exposed right now.) And we knew -- have known for a long time -- that the oven needs to be replaced sometime in here, because we had to re-calibrate it several years ago, and now we can't trust it to cook things right at all. But.
The kitchen sink is broken.
And the part which is broken, is broken clean through on one side. It's made of lead. And its got non-regulation/code/whatever threads, which means that it cannot be replaced.
( Excuse me, I need to vent, and the lack of swearing is a sign of my rage. )
Hate the people who built this house, the crummy luck right now. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate.
