I was a big girl and called the home warranty. Now cross fingers that the leak issue/fix is covered.

listening.

If you replumb, instead of full copper repipe - you might consider PEX instead.
Less expensive, more environmentally friendly.

I'm gonna go with cost and longevity, when it comes to it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
We need to redo the plumbing one of these years. Then again my parents managed to ignore it for a good long time.

PEX has up to 50 year longevity. And you don't get a lot of the problems with PEX yoiu do with copper. I guess you have a while anyway, but when the time comes you may want to look into it. Much better maintenance, much easier installation. PEX means fewer joints and more choice in the kind of joints. Which means you can sometimes have shorter runs. The same features that make it easier to install make problems less likely than copper, and make problems easier to repair if they occur.

Damn, now I'm hungry again because I'm up too late.

I will happily pay $60 to make sure my furnace is working without COing me and a lesson on bleeding radiators.
And another $60 for the fucking rain.
I have to be up at 6. Shoot me.

To bed, to bed!
I'm off tomorrow, so I want to stay up a while just because I can. Which is kind of silly, but it is what it is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have to tidy because maintenance is coming into my apartment tomorrow for an inspection. Boo, hiss.
CM might be squicky tonight. I'm definitely judiciously averting my gaze.
