Interesting day in the 'hood.


The family plumber came and looked and said he could not do anything until the Econo-rooter guy came to visit.

Upper picture is right before the Econo-rooter guy snaked the pipes.  The clean out was older than dirt and he would have had to break it to get into it.   He had to move the toilet to use as the clean out.  So, he snaked as far as he could and stopped when he hit mud.   Not a good sign.   He said call the plumber.

Um, the longer I talked to Bobby the more he said things like, "Oh, THAT's not good, yikes!"  and he couldn't get to us until early NEXT WEEK.

I called Roto-rooter (who has a plumber on staff) and the most they could promise was Friday early afternoon. Okay.

I am now envisioning the movie "The Money Pit", a trip to the public laundry and a night or two spent in the local no-tell motel.

However, our construction crew suggested we call our home owners insurance people to see what kind of reimbursement we would get from that.  Hmmmm.  Will track expenses.

More tomorrow.
