Too Bad You Burned Your Bridges OSS28

In an earlier blog I mentioned how Pumpkinhead's (OSS28) house looked as though it was abandoned and there was a giant pod storage bin in the driveway.  Well the cat is out of the bag.  Seems like they had a major plumbing leak in the summer and are now reporting that Pumpkinhead's leg broke through the ceiling of their upstairs bedroom down into the kitchen below.

I had to laugh because Pumpkinhead's Uncle Kinky AKA Chef's only full blood brother who is shunning Chef because of the divorce to the Girlhippo, had his husband chime in and say "you have many relatives that can help you with the repairs."   Not really.  Most of them could write a check but none are as handy as Chef, who is a multi-skilled master contractor.   Chef  routinely gives home improvement advice to Awesomeson on his house.  We've also helped with a few Home Improvement projects as well.

Too bad your loyalty is in one basket to the Girhippo, Pumpkinhead.  I noticed that the Girhippo nor Stepdaddybigbucks chimed in on this post so no help from them nor sympathy.   How's that one way street loyalty working for you now, Pumpkinhead?

Frankly, Chef has far too many relatives that only want him for his remodeling/fix-It skills and have nothing to offer in return so it's just as well.

That all relatives on the Girhippo side are heifers?  Pumpkinhead is approximately 6 ft tall and weighs over 300 lb.  Not that there's an excuse for coming through the ceiling.

They probably bought a house with a lot of, as they say in the real estate industry, "deferred maintenance" which Chef could have warned them about had they not been alienated by the Girhippo.

Thats not just bad thats super bad.

Yes, free fixing doesnt work in our current lives, husband charges for that now. And one-way loyalty also doesnt work.

In my catastrphe adjuster days.

Roofs are not usually places to walk on, but... old ones can be rotten and do not bear weight well.

Hopefully Chef keeps his emotions in check and lets Pumpkin head wallow in the solution for himself.
