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.
That’s absolutely outrageous. Obviously that guy didn’t know what he was doing. I’m amazed you two kept your cool with him.
sheesh.
thanks so much for the follow.
Love your blog design.
I. Would. Have. Died.
Also, I still have a three inch gap between my front door and the frame, thanks to a passive-aggressive panic attack, but, I’m pretty sure that 7 holes in my ceiling and wall would have served to push me over the edge.
I would be having some words with the first guys supervisor! That is unacceptable, drywall isn’t to hard to fix, but then you have to paint and try to make sure everything is smooth and matches!
I sure hope you didn’t get a bill for the first one, I think I would be sending him my own bill for repairs!
Few things make me crabbier than plumbing problems! Especially if holes get knocked in the walls!
