New Homeowners - Repairs — Кассета

When Kenn bought his first home in the 1980s, he quickly discovered that homeownership came with a lot more than a mortgage. Unfortunately, business school—and growing up—had done little to prepare him for the realities of home maintenance! In this episode of Boomers on the Edge , Kenn shares three hilarious stories of learning the hard way: The Auto Shut-Off Valve Faucet – Kenn’s wife asks him to fix a leaky bathroom faucet. Unable to find the shut-off valve under the sink, Kenn assumes these “new homes” must have an automatic shut-off system. He loosens the faucet—and suddenly, a geyser shoots toward the ceiling! Phone Extensions and Electricity – Before cell phones, Kenn decides he needs a phone extension in his finished basement. While working on the phone line, he uses his teeth as a wire stripper, forgetting that phone lines carry a small electrical charge. The result? A shocking experience that sends Kenn screaming—and nearly flying across the room! The Sump Pump and the Flood – After a major storm, water begins backing up in Kenn’s basement and the sump pump refuses to turn on. He grabs a small bucket and starts bailing water by hand. Then his neighbor asks the obvious question: “Did you check the fuse?” Sometimes the solution is a lot simpler than the problem! Three unforgettable home-maintenance disasters, one very inexperienced homeowner, and plenty of laughs. Another hilarious trip down memory lane on Boomers on the Edge! Boomer rating: On the Edge.
