Ah, leaking pipes! I can totally relate. I remember one time when I was living in a super old house with some roommates, we had a pipe burst in the basement. Being broke college students, we definitely couldn't afford to call in a fancy
emergency plumber. So, we did what any group of naive and probably slightly intoxicated 20-somethings would do: we tried fixing it ourselves! Long story short, we ended up flooding the entire basement and causing more damage than we started with. But hey, we learned our lesson! From then on, we made sure to call in the experts when it came to anything plumbing-related.
