Look at the right side that is where you can get any letter you need. Popular Items / Your Va Letters

I have a folder that has all my VA documents that I receive by mail or at the VA facility I get my healthcare from . I found my most recent VA disability increase paperwork which now shows me currently at 80%

I also have paperwork of my application for individual unemployability which will show me at 100% as soon as its approved

Ok, so here is the recap.

Water was pouring out of the water filter overflow and the basket in the non garbage disposal side was leaking underneath.
Andy thinks, I can fix this... so on a Sunday I pull apart the pipes and clean out 20 years of sewage, nothing unexpected...so far. Got to the p trap and noticed the last handyman had joined 2 pipes together with putty. He had 2 compression ends together...sigh...I used a coupler as a temporary fix. The lock nut on the basket, won't budge at all. The filter is fine and needs..new filters, while I am looking at this, the filter going to the fridge, that I didn't touch or get near, lets go and starts spraying water all over...fine, shut off the water and spend an hour running to the store just to end up shoving hoses together and clamping it, well one side, anyway, I taped the other side because damn if I am going back to the store for another clamp.

Day 2
Got a call from my son that the sink exploded, he couldn't figure out to shut off the cold water valve, the neighbor shut off the main to the house and helped my kid with a wet vac.
I came home and found just a little bit of water on the carpet, put down some towels. Went to the store and bought the stupid clamp I should have gotten the first time.
Day 3
Took the Sawzall to the lock nut and got the basket replaced, ran my finger around the rim to get rid of the excess putty and sliced the hell out of my finger.
Started smelling mildew so I broke out the fan and put it on the carpet.

Day 4
Mildew smell getting worse, found the water ran along the wall and had puddled under the small cabinet. Carpet was black. Broke out the carpet cleaner and ended up smearing mildew all over, the sprayer pump broke. More fans.

Day 5
Rented a cleaner got the stains out, more fans. Received the replacement filters, that works. Looked in the sink, water isn't draining seems the coupler i used was too tall and the water wasn't draining.

Day 6
Drained the water out and cut down the coupler, while trying to connect the coupler, the whole pipe comes out of the wall...the thread broke on the cast iron pipe. The plumber has been called.

I am not allowed near the plumbing anymore.

This is why I hate doing plumbing jobs. One thing leads to another, to another, to another...I would have thrown in the towel around day 4!
Your ordeal from the outside looking in...

Morning all. A few weeks ago, I finally shot my Kimber micro 9. Nice shooter, good sites and accurate. However, the best fitting pistol for me is my Sig 226.

I found out the hard way not to shoot cheap ammo to save a buck in a Kimber since It needed hundreds of rounds for proper break in.
