Since I retired in June, it seems like everything has suddenly been breaking around the house. My wife blames this week's installment directly on my retirement, and told me I should post to the ER forum.
Her logic is that since I'm home full-time now, the household uses more water. Apparently that has pushed our well across that fine line between just adequate, and inadequate supply. Which led to an extremely low water pressure event while doing the laundry, which may be why the washer decided to slowly overflow the next day flooding the drywall ceiling in the garage under the house. Bottom line, it looks like we will be getting a new well drilled, will be repairing/replacing the washing machine and redoing the ceiling in the garage, all because I stopped using the men's room at work!
Have others experienced this phenomenon? I expect to fix things when I move into a new house, but I didn't expect retirement "in-place" to cause things to break!
