SNOW!


The snow last night (4 inches) was a bad omen. My dad and I had grand plans today to install a new faucet and a new toilet. We started around 8:30am. It is now 8:30pm and the toilet is still not working... mind you, my dad is a retired pipe fitter.


We discovered that when we installed the new low-flow toilet that it wouldn't flush. So, onto the snow covered roof i went (photo taken from roof). Why the roof? That is where the vent is for the bathroom. I immediately discovered that the vent pipe is completely clogged about 10 feet down from the roof. I tried for 20 minutes to hammer away at the clog - NO LUCK! We called roto-rooter (the Aussies will love that term). The scheduled a 3:30 appointment. At 3:30, the called and said that due to the snow, they were running behind and we'll see you in the morning.


At least the faucet is working!

Hopefully the rooter gets there 1st thing in the AM otherwise u could get another 1 of those calls and b toilet-less another day. At least u'll have clean hands tho. :-)

Did George Bush cause the snow or was it Karl Rove?
