While Jim Wrestled the Snake........

Remember Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom? Well, anyway, it was only a plumbing snake. Our kitchen sink was draining very slowly, so we bought a drain snake and went from the sink down, and then into the cellar and about 20' to the T in the pipe. There seems to be 30 years of sludge in the pipes and only a small opening for the water. So after a couple hours of that, and no real progress we called Roto Rooter. It's good now. We have this beautiful new dishwasher that we'll want to hook up some day, so it's good to have the drain working. We're making great progress on the kitchen and bathroom. The bathroom is going to look great. The kitchen will be spectacular. Every step we make in there, we look at it and say "Wow, that looks great". I'll let you see it when it's done. The weather is just starting to change, until yesterday it was in the 80's and 90's. The rest of the week is forecast to be mid 60's, then back up again at the beginning of next week. We could use lots of rain but that's not in the forecast. Hopefully at some point that will come. Gotta get to work! Have a great day!
