dude installed his own sink fixtures and accidentally reversed hot and cold water lines, didn't notice til guests complained about scalding cold taps and freezing hot showers, lol. kinda funny but also made me think how easy it is to mess up something that seems simple. anyone had a similar DIY disaster happen at home?
Haha, I feel your pain—been there myself a few times. Plumbing seems straightforward until suddenly it's not. A couple years back, I replaced a toilet in one of my rental units. Thought I nailed it, felt pretty proud actually...until the tenant called saying the toilet was rocking like a carnival ride every time they sat down. Turns out I'd forgotten to secure the flange properly—rookie mistake, even after years of experience.
Honestly though, these little DIY mishaps are just part of the learning curve. At least you didn't flood your bathroom or anything major, right? And hey, now you've got a funny story to share at parties. Did your guests at least appreciate the surprise temperature therapy?
