Pipes and Plumbing
What. A. Day. I had to work from home yesterday because we were trying to resolve a plumbing problem that came to our attention around 7am. Since Jon had already showered, he got to leave for work while I waited and waited for Roto-Rooter.
The plumbers were supposed to show between 8am and 10am — "or earlier" said the dispatcher. You know what time they came knocking at the door? ONE. THIRTY. In the afternoon. After three hours and various attempts to clean out the pipes, they left me with the same plumbing problems. But just more frustrated, having wasted an entire day. So the City came out around 5pm and tried to clean out the pipes as well. Today, more City crews will be returning — this time to stick a camera into the pipes to see what's what. (We have a big maple tree in front of our house, so the roots may be causing problems.)
Fun times!
