Day 2 - 215 -- Waste Disposal Taking a Break

I spent the afternoon at home while plumbers worked away. They replaced the cartridges in the bathroom sink so it doesn't drip continuously. The water leaking from the basement toilet is another situation altogether. They had to replace the seal and other key parts. However, there seems to be a high water level in the pipes so the toilet can't get any ventilation (a horizontal vent) so it can't flush. They spent a while outside with the auger trying to clear the line two buildings over. Now that sounds odd to most people, but when the house was built, the sewer had to run to Main Street rather than out the front which is up hill from the house. Running the line to Main involved connecting to two buildings on the diocese land -- two halls. Since then two other houses run into the same line from the west of the two halls. Just plain odd. If one area clogs it affects many of us at the 'end of the line' so to speak. So -- I had to run to an appointment late afternoon and they were going to come by between 7-9 PM to check to see if the toilet will flush. They haven't arrived or called, so I expect this will occur in the morning.

Little (and I use that word rather loosely here) events such as this can really disrupt the work schedule. I brought some things home with me to complete, but didn't get to do two items that needed attention today. Tomorrow will be a very full day -- if I get away from the house at all.

The song for today should bring a smile. I needed one for sure. <smile>  Enjoy!
