Ode to the husband

My poor husband. He spends all his time at work fixing things and maintaining the facilities there so nothing goes wrong but no sooner does he try to make for a lazy weekend, stuff at home goes wrong. The thing is that we live in a two year old home with no preivious owners. There shouldn't be anything wrong for a very long time. But the water on the bathroom floor and the plugged up dishwasher when we moved in was a good sign the plumber the builder hired is a P.O.S. Now our pressure reducer isn't working and since it's a $120 piece, you'd think it wouldn't be going bad for at least 20 years. I'm sure this butt-crack showing idiot simply put in something used or second hand he bought. So now my hubby's spent the last hour trying to keep our overflow from the water heater from leaking. And of course, this happens on a Sunday when there is no one to call to get something done for a reasonable rate.
