The stupid sink was plugged. Again.
We renovated this stupid kitchen 8 years ago.
We put in this stupid sink then.
Last night we called the stupid plumber for the third time?
Why did we call a plumber for a stupid clog? Well, because the last time we attempted to fix our clogged up stupid sink ourselves we ended up in a toxic mess. Yep. When you try and fix a clog yourself and the wee little snake you own doesn’t work, and the plunger doesn’t work, and the first bottle of Liquid Plumber doesn’t work….do not try some other industrial strength crap. The fumes might actually kill you.
Any hoo.
The stupid sink was clogged. Again.
Snake. Didn’t work.
Plunger. Didn’t work.
Liquid Plumber. Does that stuff ever work?
Time to call in the big guns…cause my dishwasher won’t run without this damn sink and my counter is covered in dishes, the oven won’t hide any more crap and my kids are tired of eating off of plastic.
Plumber to the rescue!
Or not.
His 25 foot snake could not find the clog.
After 2 hours he convinces us (read Hubby) that he needs to pop a small hole in our FINISHED basement to get to some damn pipe downstairs. Fine. I hate that stucco ceiling anyway.
He did this.
Three holes later. Gee. Gefaw Gefaw. Sorry Mam. That’s all duct work. I need to go through a different wall.
Are you freakin kidding me!
I went upstairs. To breath.
Much pounding later I returned downstairs. To this.
AHHHH!!
The worst part. The plumber threw his hands in the air and said
“Sorry guys, I feel bad, I’ve never lost one before but I can’t find the problem”
Are you kidding me? There are a total of 7 holes in my ceiling and wall in 2 different rooms and my freaking sink still doesn’t work and now you are just going to leave!!!
In my most passive aggressive style I helped the Hubs usher him out while I silently shook my head. No No No. WTH? Now what.
On to the next plumber?
Yep. We really have no choice. Plumber number 2 snaked the drain with his 50 foot snake. Fixed her all up lickety split.
150.00 bucks and he was on his way.
Anyone know how to drywall?
No one ever told me being a grownup was going to be so much fun.
holy cow! Don’t you think the guy should come back and fix that?I’d be on his front step until he came back LOL
I would be beyond pissed and would probably get myself in trouble heading myself over to his little plumber shop and doing the same to his walls. Jerk.
HOLY CRAP! Those pictures are CRAZY! Sorry you had to deal with that! Hopefully Santa will find you a new plumber.
Have a wonderful holiday.
oh my goodness! he didn’t even fix the walls?? yikes, sorry about ur bad day:( hope u guys get this all straightened out soon:) thx again for dropping by my blog:)

no lie, I think i would have gone all ninja on him. Not in a good way either. Crap.
OMG!! I’d be so pissed! I have a clogging problem going on right now too. Now I’m a apprehensive about calling a plumber.
Holy crap! Time to call the Plumber’s Union!
And a stupid drywaller… Sorry about your stupid crappy luck.
Are you freaking kidding me? What a chump! I assume he’ll be fixing the holes? Ah ha ha
Nope, liquid plumber never works. He should pay , or at least repair, all the holes he put in the wall.
I literally just yelled out loud when I saw the pics of all those holes. NO WAY. I’m so sorry you had to deal with all that.
I’m also really glad you stopped by my blog. Yours is GREAT!
I agree, sometimes being an adult, especially a homeowner, really sucks. I hope everything is able to be fixed cheaply.
So the moral of the story is to hire the plumber w/the longest snake??
Your drywall, Ack!
I had to show my hubby your blog…and show him your story. His response…”I would of been po’d if a plumber had done that here”.
I sure hope number 1 didn’t charge you. If he did, I wouldn’t have paid. What a bummer.
Jebus Crap. I’m utterly at a loss for words here. 😮
I consider is a lesson for us new home owners, to never ever let a worker punch holes through our home without a 2nd or 3rd consult from other qualified people.
I’d bill that jackarse for the repairs!!
(( hugs )) and man, I feel for you, I really do 🙁
