We came home from a great little trip to Colorado – for the Annual MFL Ski Day. Sadly, we both came home sick. Eli = very sick. kca = about to get very sick. Even more sadly, we came home to a kitchen sink that wouldn’t drain, a dishwasher that was backed up with nasty sitting water, and water all over the kitchen subfloor. Great. We bought a 50 foot snake and were unsuccessful at clearing the pipes while both coughing and sneezing and sniffling and feeling awful to begin with. My advice to all of you is never to have serious plumbing issues come up when you’re seriously sick.
(Dismantling underneath the sink to snake it)
We went another week without a working kitchen sink, which meant Eli would cook and kca would transport all dishes and full pots of water down to the basement sink to do dishes. No fun.
MC was able to work on the pipes for a few hours the following weekend until…Success! We have a working kitchen sink and dishwasher! I feel like I’m starting to sound like a broken record when I say: going without something for awhile sure makes you appreciate it when you have it back.
MC didn’t say much while snaking and snaking and snaking except when he had to get into our cabinets for access to a pipe: “you guys think you have enough Tupperware?”
