PLUMBING UPDATE

ARGGGHHH!! I thought I had it fixed. The garbage disposal backed up, I turned it on, and stuff went EVERYWHERE.....flooded under there again.

Soooo.....Jamin dragged himself away from his books (he asked me tonight if I thought 4 hours a day working on his biography of Churchill was enough? ::snort:: I suggested an hour a day from here on out), and gave the plumbing a shot. I thought he could get it tighter. He did....but it still leaks....though after I was done with it it was exploding and spraying. ::snort::

We found some tape but we aren't sure what we're supposed to tape. I called the home warranty spot and both the sink and the garbage disposal are covered. I really think it's the O ring thingy....guess I could try that tomorrow....anyway....both are covered under the home warranty and they'd love to send a plumber over.... Yeah - $60...and I'm sure I'll be able to fix this eventually! ::snort::

I thought it hilarious that Stacia had to get right in the middle of things and offer advice....notice the hand on the hip stance....

I hope you manage to solve your plumbing problems soon!

Actually, I am giggling slightly as 'plumbing problems' is a euphemism here for urinary difficulties. {oops!}

Which I am sure you don't have.

Not under your sink anyway.

No one.

Sis: Plummers tape is white and goes around the threads before you connect two things. I am always amazed how Dad puts it on....... just any ole' way.... I would want it all to be neat and even. BUT it works.

Good luck on the fix ups.

Stacia certainly reminds me of family members who are past the kid stage. :):):)

love you all,

Too funny Mom and Darshia....

LOL Dorothy, I'd not thought of it but the same euphemism is used from time time in America. LOL
