Plumbing Problems

So... a few months ago the garbage disposal started leaking, since we live in a rental this means calling the landlord and setting up a time to get it fixed. Sometimes this is such a hassle I would honestly just rather have Michael or my Step-dad fix it. After months of having a broken disposal the landlord never called me back so Jim (Step-dad) came over to fix the problem. There ended up being a dime size hole in the back of the disposal, obviously causing all the leaking. He happened to have a new garbage disposal laying around from their old house so he just replaced it.

Good to go right...nope, I started to do all the dishes that had stacked up and about 10 min later water started to trickle on my feet. Sure enough there was a good inch or so of water under the sink! Called Jim up to figure out there was a missing plug that water was just poring out of. Michael didn't have time to buy a plug before he left on his trip so It now became my responsibility. Last night when I got off work, I didn't stop at the store to buy the plug I went straight home to eat a snack and watch Scandal (my latest Netflix obsession). Bad decision...As I was sitting on the couch I could hear water running...except I wasn't running any water. I ran to the kitchen to find water pouring out of the pipe I was supposed to buy a plug for...Oppsies! I turned all three water shut offs off under the sick but the water just kept coming. I was freaking out at this point on the phone with my mom and Jim, filling up bowls of water and then dumping that into the trash can. It finally stopped but then started up again 3 min later. My parents came over and tightened a couple screws on the water shut off and so far there hasn't been any leaking.... I have lots of dishes to do and I really hope the plumbing problems are over!
