Blocked drain

The toilet has been going down slowly for a couple of weeks. Attempts to use a plunger brought only temporary relief. This morning I accepted it wasn’t going to get better, got in a plumber with cameras. They cleared the (vile and substantial) mess, but found the main fault in a broken junction. Tomorrow it will be dug out and replaced. The lot will come to almost $8000. Ouch. Need I say more?

  • Join the happy spenders club. I just spent this much–and more–to have all the intake pipes in our house replaced, and a new septic drain field installed.

    Isn’t home ownership wonderful?

    You have my deepest sympathies. (Pun sort of intended.)
