Yea...We don't need this right now.
Some of you might remember a little while back my Dad went into the hospital.
He is doing ok now, he is for the most part staying out of trouble.
Before then I lost my job, and during that time we were remodeling the bathroom, during the bathroom remodel we found out we need a new roof desperately. At the same time as all of those things my transmission needed to be redone and I needed $2000 to do that.
THIS WEEK: Tuesday the pipes to the street backed up, flooding part of the basement in the process due to the fact I was in the shower at the time. Thank goodness the dog was whining at the cellar door otherwise we wouldn't have noticed it right away. That isn't normal for her unless one of the neighborhood cats decided to sneak into the house by the window down there.
By midnight that night rotor rooter had fixed the problem for now, but said in the future we will need to replace the pipes running out to the street which means digging up the front yard.
TODAY: while doing laundry, I hear the sound of water in the basement...
Yep, looks like the future is now. As I type the roto rooter man is doing his best to set up having the yard dug up and pipes redone in the next day or so. My Mom came home early for lunch to talk to him and then pay him, she is the only person at the front desk at her job so she can't stay long.
This really isn't what my family needs right now.
I have to say at least the guy working on the pipes hasn't hit his head. He has to be over 6 feet and I live in a house built in the 1800's. We should just provide hard hats and aspirin for when plumbers go into the basement.
