- The back splash around the kitchen counters
- The south fence in the back yard along second ave.
- The other bathroom( yes we do have two bathrooms)
I guess broken sewer pipes are common in old houses. It was wet under our house. I decided to wait for it to dry before initiating any repairs. So we set up a sink in our shower and started using plastic ware and paper plates.
The pipes were fixed under the house, even the main line to the city sewer was replaced. To fix the pipes in the kitchen we had to chisel into the wall where the back splash would have gone. The drain for the other bath room was tapped into for the kitchen sink and the drain from the other bathrooms tub was found to be in bad shape and in need of replacement. Now for the fence. The main sewer line goes right under a dead pecan tree along the named fence line. We sent a camera down my sewer to check out what we could not replace under the tree. the roots of the tree have caused the pipe to offset which will require attention later, requiring us to remove the dead tree which if the fence was up would make this future job difficult.
This event has justified the methods to my madness. So next time you see me know this, I am smiling because all my procrastination and distractions have paid off and I am a free man (in spirit) and life will keep humming along at the pace I enjoy so much. Now if we could just pay all our bills off then we would truly be free.
