From Crusty and Rusty to Fine and Shine

I put in the service order for the plumber last night, and they texted me at 9am to ask if 1-3 pm was good. Dude was here at 1:30. Pronto! 

His name is Jose. He was super sweet. I took him down to the basement to show him the issue. Doug had bailed the water out of the sink as far as he could, and there was still about 6 inches in each of the sink compartments. 

It stank to high hell. I apologized. He said "no I've been at worse!" 

So Jose did his best to clear it and found we have a busted drain pipe. Lord knows where any of the water has been going up to this point. Out against the foundation? No idea. He left at 2:15 to go get a replacement part. He said it was the original drain pipe, close to 80 years old. 

It had a good run. 

He was back and it was all buttoned up by 4. 

Geoff made burgers for dinner and I ended up baking some fresh cookies for decorating since Doug hates the sugar coated decorated cookies and has been just eating all the plain ones I've made. Rude. 

It was a good day.
