Adventures in Plumbing

For years, my sister's been telling me to call her favorite plumber and have them snake my slow moving drains. I hate having workpeople (or mostly any people) in my house, so I've put it off. The bathroom sink and tub have been sluggish for ages.

But finally this week the sink clogged 100%. I tried all my tricks, even bought a drain snake, but no go.

So I called the plumber. With the plumber of course, I always wonder about where else they've been: did the last call involve sewage? Are they using the same equipment at my house? Etc.

But I survived. I did a little cleaning after he left, but it wasn't so bad. And oh, the drains are so fast! I had the best shower ever on Thursday!

  1. Congrats on being able to call the plumber when you needed one! I don't like plumbers, electricians, etc. in my house, either--it stresses me out not knowing what they're going to do/touch, and I worry about my cats. But sometimes it's necessary.

  2. Good for you! I really dislike having any type of workers in my home too, for the same reasons. The best part now is you get the reward of a great shower! Enjoy!!

  4. Ditto on the plumbers at my house, makes me nervous. But it is never quite as bad as what I make it out to be in my head before hand. Glad you did it and you have good drains now.

  5. I'm with you - I hate service people in my house, too -for the same reasons.
    Hope you enjoy the new fast flowing drains. :)

  7. I guess when a plumber is recommended he must be a good one and you don't have to worry about specially if it is your sister's reference. Good for you that you now enjoy a fast flowing drain.
