The Plumber Drama started 3 days ago with me in the shower, and hearing BLOOP! BLOOP! from the toilet.
Fast Forward to Day after Plumber Repairs of the dramatic Shut Down of all SINKS AND POTTIE,that drain into the sewer!
I said to Bob, "It's been 72 hours since I had a shower"
Bob's reply "so take one now"
I say, "I am afraid to use the shower, I might hear the BLOOPING again, what if it's not fixed?
Bob says, "If the shower did not run over after yesterday, it's FIXED"
"OH, I forgot," I exclaim.
REWIND to yesterday, the Plumber left with all drains, draining. 50 minutes later, I entered Bob's Bathroom and HEAR WATER RUNNING IN THE WALL. I race to my bathroom and its LOUDER!
I realize I am barefoot on a wet floor.
I PANIC! I realize the shower curtain is open, the hose sprayer, is spraying against the back wall, and I assume it's been aimed there by the plumber, probably letting it run to see if the drain backed up, leaving the shower curtain open so he can see it. I turn it off and go through the living room to get the mop, walking in front of you know whos' TV set, and he says What are you doing?
I tell him the story.
I forgive the plumber because I FORGOT TO TAKE A SHOWER THAT DAY. I also forgot that if the water ran for an hour yesterday, and did not plug up, it would be OK today.
I also forgot to make the auto coffee for this morning. The plumber looked to be 50ish, and I thought of calling to tell him, just wait until your 80.
If you are thinking I enjoyed my shower, you are Wrong! The entire time, I shampooed my hair, I held my breath, waiting to hear the BLOOPING warning me of coming disaster.
( to justify all this panic, in the past most plumbing problems started with water running in wall)
DONE AND CLEAN!
NO BLOOP! NO DRAMA! NO STOPPED UP DRAINS!

MS please be sure you are sitting down and are not drinking or eating when you see your bill. Plumbers are quite expensive...and I gladly pay them...because I would not want nor could I do their job. We had a new garbage disposal installed in September (replacing one that was 16 years old) The disposal was about 100.00 the total bill was about 250.00

and plumber was only here just under an hour.
Plumbing problems at your house ended well. I'm so happy for you. And I love your story telling, you have a talent for drama and tell it so well.
we are happy that everything goes.. and we hope the bill is not for a bill-ionaire...

Phew.... YAM xx
So thankful that the problem is fixed and thankful as well that you being barefoot on the wet floor, that you didn't slip and fall. Bless your heart....Thinking of you and praying that God's favor is doubled for you...
Oh m'goodness! I know it's not funny in the least, but the way in which you narrate is priceless. I really wish that plumber would have warned you before he left; what if you and Bob had made plans and left town for a few days. Yikes!
Oh dear! Well, at least now your floor is clean and you are clean and your toilet is clean, and all is well that ends well. Praying the bill won't clean out your wallet or bank account. But God is good, and maybe now you can relax a bit and get back to writing fun posts of drawing things on your tablet again or IPad or whatever that thing is that you draw such fun pictures on. Reminds me of the etch a sketch, only much more sophisticated! Love you girlfriend. Give Beau a nice treat today and thank Bob for being cool calm and collected. Gotta look for the blessings when they come...
Goodness. I would be worried about taking a shower too. I'm happy things are fixed though. No more garage.
Have a fabulous day and rest of the week. Scritches to Beau. ♥
I would have been nervous too, with the first shower after it had hopefully been fixed... I'm glad the plumber WAS able to fix it, and I too hope that the bill won't be "too" horrendous...
Oh my! That would have scared me too! Hearing water running is always scary. I'm glad it's fixed and you could get a shower!
Happy Day !!! so much Drama and now everything is fixed, and you are squeeky clean.
You, my Dear, never have a dull day !!!

YAY! Thanks for the giggle!
I'm glad this all ended well. I think I would have panicked when I heard the water running.
Wow, I am so sorry you had to go through that fear. Glad it is running okay. Take care.
