One Step Forward...

Sink Fixed!


But, Five steps back: Tub now completely clogged.


And Will concedes that we will have to call a plumber.... after he tries just one more thing...

Of course, the clog is located in the pipe that is underneath the tub, where the snake cannot reach it since it is past two corner junctions. Will could feel where the pipes went cold, therefore the location of the clog, after running hot water in the tub. It will require cutting of pipes, in my expert opinion. Will thinks that his new heavy-duty wrench from our hardware store might be the answer.

Sigh. In the mean time, we are using the guest bathroom. Will had a brilliant idea this morning: We have so many rooms in the house, that if one fails us, then we will abandon it and move into another room. Considering that the ceiling in blue bedroom currently leaks, and the ceiling in our bedroom is has cracked and will soon start leaking again, that leaves only the front guest room.** If that room malfunctions, we are on the couch in the living room. Good thing that it is a really more like a twin bed.

** yes, we are in process of roof replacement but we need to get permits from DC gov't. We have two out of the three reviews (structural and zoning; waiting on electrical, even though, at this point, we aren't putting in wiring in the dormer). Hopefully by the end of the week we will have permits and our roofer can go head with the work.
