My Morning in Pictures, or Why Roto-Rooter Rocks My World

[sleepsong]

I didn't even get photos of my clogged-up storm drain outside or the trail of muddy water running through my apartment because of that. I did, however, get photos of what, had I not been there to catch the initial problem, could have cost me thousands of dollars in destroyed stuff

*hugs* did i ever tell you about living in the basement at my ex's house? very similar thing happened. it was indeed, gross.

this happens at ticky sometimes because we need a new sewer main; ours is very old and full of tree roots and things. though it's never been that deep; we mostly notice earlier and stop letting water go down it. water doesn't just come up it, but if it's clogged and we put water down it, stuff will come up. yuqqq.

Oh man, *hugs* to you. I was watching a ridex (? some septic treatment/prevention thing) and was telling my mom I'm never living someplace not on a sewer system. I don't care how good the rent is, just nope. Not doing it.

Ouch. I'd be willing to pick through the storm drain again if necessary, as long as that storm drain doesn't have anything from the septic tanks in it (I'm ok with the little weed-things or whatever they are).

Also, I wouldn't be drinking, but I could be up for going out tonight.

Ew

I would go out drinking with you if I was there and we weren't drinking that water.
