Adventures in Plumbing

It started innocently enough-a small puddle of water on the floor. Did something spill? Wipe it up. The puddle came back. Uh-ho. Squeeze in tracking down water into the schedule. I notice that the sound of the water in the pipes is awful loud. Have I mentioned that my plumbing skills are limited to plunging and theoretical knowledge? Now its 2 weeks later and I we are moving shelves (I'm directing and Aaron is moving) and I notice that the carpet in the office is wet. This can't be good. I look at the pipes again (no flashlight) still not seeing anything. Finally call my brother and with a flashlight he sees a break in the pipe in back corner. If I had a flashlight I could have seen it too. Brian fixes the pipe, and snakes the drains. Bathroom working and draining but the kitchen isn't draining still. Leaves me the snake. Aaron and I start to work. 2 weeks and entirely dismantling the underneath of the kitchen pipes and restoring, hijacking Chris and Anthony for additional hands (thanks again guys! I owe you dinner as soon as my dishes are clean again) we freed two clogs in the bottom right hand pipe of the lower end.

Ran more Drano and have since run 4 loads of dishes without a snag...hey only 5 more to go!



Also found a new problem in the mix...small incoming leak at the washer/nut combo...called Mike and heading for a fix on Friday.

Having Fun Juggalo Style

Tryn and Aarons friend Auzzy came over one day and did face paint for them- they are all fans of the band Insane Clown Posse (ICP). ICP fans are Juggalos and Juggalettes.... make up and posing with sharp objects insued.






Wicked Clowns... ;)
