bluecastleHooray! After a three day plumbing saga, my pipes are clear and I can return home for more than just packing a bag for a night spent bunking in my parents basement.
I discovered the water backing up in my basement midday Sunday. We called the plumbers Monday morning. They worked on it for most of yesterday afternoon without much success. They reportedly stood around scratching their heads a lot. Today they came back with the borough and a high pressure hose nozzle do-hickey. That took care of the worst of it. They came back after another job to take care of the last clogged pipe, and now I should be able to run water in my house!!!
My cat hates me for leaving him alone for the better part of three days, and the strange men tromping in and out no doubt freaked him right out. Much tail flicking last night when I went home to feed the cat and the stove, and pack for my second night at Casa de Parentalis.
As I have a hacking cough, I haven't been sleeping much anyway... but now at least I don't have to worry about keeping other people up all night listening to hack-hack-hack...
So as long as I can make it home through the threatened snow/sleet/freezing rain that is impending, I will be having a little welcome home celebration tonight!!
