How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Toxic Clog

in Uncategorized on 05/05/09

What not to do when your sink explodes!

*Think that one measly bottle of Liquid Plumber is going to fix what is clearly a king size clog.

*Attempt to “help” the Liquid Plumber with the plunger. MMM Vile Back splash.

*Ask Hubby to bring home Industrial Strength Drano from work.

*Supervise as Hubby adds Industrial Strength Drano to science project that used to be your kitchen sink.

*Gather the kids and run like hell when the serene “That means it’s working.” bubbling turns into a fog filled cloud of toxic waste.

*Keep said children occupied outside as you test your lung capacity and hold your breath as long as possible while cranking open every window in the house.

*Panic as Hubby asks you to run water in bathroom because that tingling feeling on his arm is beginning to escalate into an uncomfortable burning sensation.

*Get the man some gloves.

*And a bucket.

*Let the hero drain the pipes himself. Take the kids out. One of you must survive to raise the children!

*Come home hours later to find a Coughing Hubby, clogged sink, oh and a cracked pipe.

*Call the bloody plumber like you should have in the first place.

      Funny post! Plumbing is a nightmare to try and tackle. Impressed that you take a shot at it. I would be dialing the plumber fast, and I would be afraid if my husband got involved. Glad to visit your lovely blog today 🙂

Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!
