We’ve been having some problems with the plumbing lately. Water doesn’t want to drain (along with other things!) I went and borrowed a snake yesterday and pulled the toilet out of the way, but couldn’t get the snake down the hole very far. I think I was hitting a joint. Then it dawned on me that there was no water backed up in the drain so wondered if it might be the toilet it’s self. It’s been here for all my life and before. On the way to town to get a new one and to talk to a plumber, I got a call from a friend. While explaining where I was going and what I was doing, he mentioned that it sure might be the toilet. Then when I got to a plumber he told me the same thing. So I paid my land taxes and then headed off to Rapid for a new toilet and some other stuff. Got it all and headed home.Bought a small hand twising snake. got home, removed the old toilet and tried to get the twisty snake to go down the hole. It went, but finally hit something and stopped.
Damn!
So now I guess I need to get someone with a rotorooter to see if they can remove what ever is the cause.
I should have been a plumber I guess. From the sounds of it, they get paid very well!
Supposedly rain and snow on the way. Cindy took extra clothes along as she may have to stay in town. Moving her mother to Sturgis just might pay off! LOL
Is there a Saint to pray to, for bad plumbing? LOL

St. Vincent Ferrer is patron of plumbers. I am not sure why.
an old plumber/pipe fitter once told me all you need to know about plumbing is this..”..hot on left, cold on right, payday’s on Friday, but MOST IMPORTANTLY….sh!$ don’t run uphill”. I reckon he’s right. I had a toilet do that . it needed a vent valve replaced in the drain line…
Thanks Fr. Tyler!
True James, true!
Don’t you hate it when it seems like nothing can go right, my hubby is pretty good at most things but plumbing and electricity! Doesn’t matter much anyhow because usually if something happens he isn’t home and I have to take care of it any way!
