1. For every project, you get to buy a new tool.
2. I had to buy more tools to build shelves for all my tools.
3. Every project requires at least 3 trips to the supply store.

Frustrating, eh?
For anchor bolts I put a collar of masking tape around the bolt before sliding it in the pre-drilled hole. This provides enough friction to allow the expansion to happen so the bolt can grab and you can then tighten fully.

So, I pay all my utilities via credit card, and I receive emails when the bill is due and amount. Last month, the water department notified me that my bill was $240 and change. Considering my normal bill is $39 my attention was captured.
Here's the interesting thing - about 4 months ago, the water department started rolling out smart meters that they could query and collect usage information. Think now - water department, smart meters, automatic billing.... most of the people I've met from the county departments leave me less than inspired. This month, my water usage has been at a square wave. Normally 400 gallons a month, it's been spiking at various times and days to over a thousand gallons per day. I've already pointed out that their data is corrupt, but all I get is a tired voice on the line.
I may have found a new career, no, sorry misspoke, consulting opportunity.

Wow! That's like a 1" pipe going full tilt the whole day! Maybe you shouldn't fill your pool daily; you know, it's not a bathtub

My mother-in-law once got a water bill that was the equivalent of filling her pool 10 times daily for an entire month! The water company then compounded the mistake by crediting her account - twice!
They never corrected the account. I told her that when she moved away from her old house, she should have asked them to close out the account and pay her the sum. 
At least the local paper got an amusing article out of it showcasing the incompetence of the water company.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Correct. And I have made the point that we don't have a pool. The general attitude I'm picking up is (a) oh elephant, I don't know anything about these meters... or (b) yawn, just another local whining about their bill.

Some years back we had dual, electronic/analog water meters. In case of disagreement the analog/mechanical one took precedence. Now the city gave up on the electronic ones and we just have to read ourselves the analog ones and enter the reading on a web page once a year. Works great.
