This is what happens when you keep saying, “I’ll fix it tomorrow.”

This is what happens when you keep saying, “I’ll fix it tomorrow.”

We all have one problem in our homes that we know needs fixing, but just can’t get together the motivation to actually do it. For me, it’s a shelf in my closet that collapsed (this weekend, I swear). For this group of roommates, it was a water tank that was very clearly about to burst.

In my case, it just means that my toolbox is on the floor of my closet rather than on the wall. In these guys’ case, it meant that their day was suddenly interrupted by an explosion of pressurized water.
