Frogs
So I have to share this weird thing with you. ..
The bathroom sink clogged up, I have ongoing problems with plumbing at my house. So I worked on it for about a week, plunging and plunging some more. I got that canister that shoots pressurized enzymes down the drain but I couldn't get a good seal because the faucet was in the way. Well, by this time it was taking about 6 hours to drain, so I got some of the bad stuff, Draino and that didn't even work. Next step the plumber.
I don't have good luck with plumbers, thats why I have ongoing problems, I have had probably 15 different companies out to my house in the last 10 years and they are all idiots and theives. Not to mention drunks. Yes I have actually had 2 show up drunk. Many that never showed up at all.
So the guy comes, he shows up when he's supposed to, actually 30 minutes early, good thing I left work early, or I wouldn't have been there. To make a long story short he goes up on the roof and snakes out the vent and tells me it's full of frogs.
frogs
full of frogs. How did that happen? The lye based drain cleaners ate a hole in the pipe and frogs are living in it. Giant buffo toads. Almost as big as a dinner plate.
So the guy tells me he has to remove my cabinet, tear down my plaster wall, and replace the pipe. He quotes me 1,275 dollars. AND he won't be able to repair the wall.
So I say thank you very much, I'll think about it, give him 99 dollars for his diagnosis. I've got a call into the contractor that redid my kitchen last year, their going to give me an estimate next week.
I figure if I have to tear the bathroom up, I might as well update it. Get rid of the vanity, it's too big for the space, and the bottom is caving in. Darn fiber board. I'm going to take down that huge mirror and get rid of the over the toilet thingie. I'm thinking maybe a pedistal sink or at least a smaller cabinet. And a smaller mirror with shelves on the walls. If I can afford it I'd like to get rid of the bathtub and make it into a shower.
So, back to the frogs. It's such a strange thing. I can't stop thinking about it. My granny always said that frogs were good luck, they bring money. Medicine Cards say that frogs are tears. Various other sources say that frogs are Transformation. communication. transition. A sign of moving to another level. Hopefully it will be the level of excellent plumbing forever.
