big girl pants, drain, Drano, family, kitchen sink, plumber, plunged, trap, widow

early yesterday I discovered a clog in the kitchen sink…

I plunged it a number of times without any luck, before searching around to find the Drano and followed the directions to clean out the trap… apparently after two tries of putting the chemicals into the affected spot you need to call a plumber…

texted my son-in-law and he said he’d have a look when they came for dinner…

he plunged, drained, and snaked for an hour at which point we gave up… by then the kitchen looked like a disaster zone with pots, pans, and dry goods everywhere…

apparently the problem is not in the sink trap but in the main drain…

after supper we called RotoRouter and scheduled a visit for Monday…

so, got a call at the office and raced home to let the plumber in… he was here for three hours and had a difficult time clearing the line… seemed that grease was the problem…

also some concern about the plastic pipes meeting up with metal ones…

feels like the last few weeks have been full of things breaking down… with any luck, maybe that will be done…

hmmm…

big girl pants, colleague, electrical, hmmm, kitchen sink, landscape, mow the lawn, plumbing, purple finch

first thing this morning I spotted a purple finch at the front bird feeder… from there the day went downhill a bit…

Purple Finch...

Purple Finch…

the kitchen sink appeared to be blocked, even though I thought I had unblocked it on Sunday, what with the big girl pants and all…  my son-in-law came over to check it out and discovered it was actually broken and leaking when the tap was running… he found George’s plumbing supplies and picked up a few things and thought he had it fixed, but not so… so he contacted a plumber friend of his to stop by and see if he can sort it out… now the plumber needs to come back in the next few days to fix it, sigh…

Jeff couldn’t even mow the grass while he waited, because the pond guys were busily working and had blocked the entrance to the shed where the lawnmower lives…

trying to sort out the landscaping for the new pond area seems to be a bit difficult as well… not sure exactly what plantings are included so look forward to getting this sorted out…

and their electrical guy is very busy so I am trying to connect with my guy to see if we can get this piece done in the next few days…

feels like the money is flying out the doors and windows, lol…

good news is that my colleague is back from a few days away and another colleague who has been off for a few months has also returned…
