well this is fun

Yesterday we noticed we had problems with the kitchen sink not draining. It takes forever for a full sink to empty. Worse, the pipe underneath is leaking! I’m catching all the water in a yogurt container and putting it down the bathroom sink. I tried putting Drano down the kitchen sink and that didn’t seem to help at all. I called the caretaker and she will come on Monday but that means we have to deal with this the whole weekend and possibly even longer if the plumber can’t look at it right away. Thus really sucks because it makes it impossible to cook or wash anything in the kitchen!

Update: Dan had a brilliant idea and we bought a plastic container to use in the sink. That way we can still wash dishes and toss the water down the toilet and not have to worry about the drain. Its leaking worse than before (how can a drain be leaking and clogged at the same time??) and when we try to drain water from the sink all sorts of icky stuff comes up into the sink so it’s nice to know the dishes are going into something clean. Euh.

Up-update: The drain got fixed on Monday. Hooray! I’ll never take plumbing for granted again!!
