QI From Carrots to Renovations: How I Spent $10,000 without Really Trying
Do you believe that a kilogram of carrots could cost $10,000? My carrots cost me that much last
year. Last summer I had to completely renovate my kitchen and it was all because of a bunch of
carrots. The story begins with my picking twelve carrots from my vegetable garden and ends
with my getting a new kitchen.
I have a vegetable garden and every summer I enjoy eating my own vegetables. One day last
summer I picked a dozen carrots. Usually, as soon as I have picked the carrots, I clean the dirt off
them by rinsing them in a bucket of water. I keep a full bucket of water beside the garden just for
this purpose. But this day, as I was getting up from the ground with my twelve carrots, I tripped
and fell over the bucket. The water spilled out of the bucket and went all over my feet. I ran into
the house to change my shoes and socks. When I was finally dry and clean, I realized that I had
very little time to make dinner. The carrots were part of dinner, so I decided to wash the carrots
quickly in the kitchen sink. The carrots were covered in a large amount of dirt from the garden. I
put the carrots in the sink, rinsed them with water, and watched all the dirt wash away down the
drain.
The next day, when I was washing dishes, I noticed that the water drained out of the sink much
more slowly than usual. It drained so slowly that I went to the store and bought a bottle of special
drain cleaner. I used the drain cleaner and the water seemed to drain a little faster. However, the
following day the drain worked even more slowly. I spent $100 on different kinds of drain
cleaner. None of them worked.
Soon the water did not drain at all. At this point I called a plumber to come and fix my drain. The
plumber tried a lot of different cleaners and equipment, but nothing worked. He tried to go under
the house to check the pipes, but he couldn't reach them. He had to cut a hole in the floor where
the drain pipe was in order to try to find the problem. While he was cutting the small hole, he
accidentally cut the hot water pipe. Hot water sprayed over the plumber, onto the floor, behind
the counters, under the refrigerator; water went everywhere. Two hours later we finally finished
cleaning up all the water. But the water had caused a lot of damage.
My refrigerator stopped working because the water had affected the electrical wires. I called an
electrician to come and fix the refrigerator. The electrician had to move the refrigerator to work
