The Pipe, The Saga Continues

The pipe repair is turning into a nightmare. Not because of the workers, but due to the age of the house. We are still not in a repair mode yet. We are still in a discovery mode. Today we were trying to dig up the pipe to see just what needs to be done. The pipe is a mess. It has obviously been repaired many times in the past and each repair was made with a different type of pipe, and there is a break at almost every joint.

The pipe itself is almost completely clogged with sludge. If it was an artery we would be looking at a quadruple by-pass.

Every time the guy digging up the pipe came to me with another problem I would just say "okay." He finally said "Lady, you are taking this a lot better than I would." I told him he didn't have a Kindle2 on the way.

I'm sure all of this is going to hit me next week, but for now I am just thinking about how I will be able to use my sink again soon, and in the mean time I can read books on my Kindle2.
