Oscars vs. The Snake
March 2, 2014
While I was deeply ensconced in my office watching evening gowns on parade and speeches (some really good) and Hollywood glam, Jim was doing this:
The good news: Jim has no interest in the Academy Awards so missed nothing. The bad news: Jim has no interest in plumbing, either, but had no choice but to get to the bottom of on overflowing toilet and slow-draining drains.
As posted by Jim on Facebook:
Spent much of the evening diagnosing a suddenly slow drain, complete with overflowing toilet. Exhausted my capabilities (plunger, snake; even had to drill a hole in the cleanout cap because it was frozen solid). Time for a pro, bracing for the financial hit. Pray for me.
And, gosh, sometimes that drilling was so loud I had a hard time hearing those wonderful speeches.
Jim’s out of town early, so I’m taking over the problem in the morning. Pray for me.
