We’ve all taken on household projects that have just turned
out disastrous. Trade pro or not, I’m sure even you’ve gotten in over your
head.
Like the folks who bought the house in
1986’s “The Money Pit”: The house has plumbing problems, electrical problems,
foundation problems, permit problems, the list goes on. The owners can’t find
contractors to do the work, and when they do, scheduling and change orders are
out of control.
There are many memorable construction
scenes from this film, but the one below wins not only for the clawfoot bathtub
falling through the ceiling and disintegrating on the floor below, but for Tom
Hanks’ unforgettable laugh. A laugh filled with as much frustration and disenchantment
as it is humor.
