Farm Photo 2/3/08: Handyman Special


A Man & His Supervisor

"Um, honey? The bathtub just puked up the dishwater I poured down the kitchen sink."

So yesterday Joe dug into what we thought was a small plumbing problem.


Way More Exciting Than Watching The Superbowl

Turns out it's more like a medium plumbing problem. But at least it stopped snowing. And hasn't started raining yet. And the ground isn't frozen. Well, not solid anyway.

  1. Oh dear, I've had that "medium-sized problem" myself, since my house is nearly 100 years old. Luckily I have two brothers in the sewer business. Hope yours will not turn out to be a hassle.

  3. Ah plumbing issues - always fun - be grateful your significant O is a handyman - my hubby is great at that stuff but it always includes a bit of mumbling I'm glad I cannot hear!

  4. Boy, that's one strong farmer! It looks like the more he dug, the worse it got. Good luck. Hope the problem gets fixed. Nothing is worse than a plumbing problem.

  5. Ah, I can sympathize. What was initially thought be a small leak in a washing machine hose turned out to be a frozen drain (not a surprise since was -40 last week). Of course, we didn't figure this out until after a small flood that forced us to rip up carpet and tile. The drain is still frozen because the person fixing it decided he couldn't miss the Super Bowl party -- I guess I needed a Buddy Bear to keep him in line.

  7. I've found there are no "small" plumbing problems.

    I find it telling that whenever you purchase plumbing supplies, the cashiers at the hardware store say "See you later."

    And they always do!

    SB (figures a 3-4 trip-to-the-store qualifies as "medium".
