Let's work out some of our frustration. Which home project of yours ended

up being a major PITA? Let's go ahead and excuse vacuuming & dusting.

Changing out a basement water heater was no fun(lucky to have the floor drain), but I nominate replacing the heater mat under my waveless, King-sized, waterbed mattress. Being on the top floor helped with siphoning the water out, but the foam core in that bastige does not want to release anything to the outside world. I lost count of how many times I had to restart the siphon process.and then there's the refilling/burping. smh
*edit: I left out one part. Without a pump, I had to suck start the siphon process.
