On the positive side, Pats beat Cinci pretty handily, and as a result I've got a six pack headed my way.
Also on the positive side, having a good run in my fantasy league.
On the decidedly LESS good-news front, I've got to jackhammer a big ass hole in my basement tomorrow. We've been having a metric ****-ton of issues with our main sewer line. Started last year - line clogged, everything backed up into our washing machine and slop sink. Plumbers came with their big-ass snake, found tree branches, told us to take down a tree that was in front whose roots were getting into the pipe.
So, that tree's now in pieces, stacked and waiting for winter.
So... same **** happens a few months ago. They come, fix it. Not sure what they found - wasn't there when they fixed it.
Fast-forward to Saturday morning, when I go downstairs to the unmistakable odor of... well, sewage. Same deal. Call them plumbers (love these guys; Saturday morning and they're at the house within an hour), they start cleaning it out again... and nothing's working. Finally, they bring out the BIG drain cleaner think (the anaconda of drain snakes), they tell me as they're lugging it down the stairs,
"Son, you better hope this works, 'cause if it don't we're all out of ideas..."
Finally, they get the line cleared... by taking out chunks of concrete. Seems that buried in the floor, the pipe has busted underneath the washer-dryer, now chunks of the floor are getting in the pipe.
So, their instructions to me are, we'll get it cleared for a little while, but you need to jackhammer out ALL of this floor around here so we can cut this out and give you some new cleanouts.
So, they leave, and everything is working... until tonight. Backed up again, which means I'm scrambling to get things caught up so I can take tomorrow and Tuesday off, jackhammer open a big ass hole in the floor, get them access to the pipes, and hope they can come back on Tuesday to fix me up for good.
Adding insult to injury, I don't even want to drink beer tonight because I'll either be pissing in the backyard or basically pissing in my slop sink!
Effin' a. I love me some power tools, but I ain't looking forward to renting a damn jackhammer.
Just venting. A very frustrating weekend. Going to bring the family to a hotel tomorrow, if we can't really ****, shower, and shave, it's kind of hard to stay in the house.
