really? REALLY?

Really, this wasn't supposed to be inside the pipes in my basement? REALLY?

Really? This will clog your pipes? REALLY?

Thank you, Mr. Plumber, for telling me this wasn't supposed to there! Everyone remind me never to put these down my sink drains again!

Everyone remind me not to spend a lot of time stuffing this down my 1" drain pipes in the studio! I spent 92 hours doing it last time, folding this giant, rubber THINGIE and pushing it down my teeny tiny drains, and, OH DEAR, it clogged things up! OH NO! The backup in the studio must've been my fault, dang it!

I read on the internet that it would be OK to leave 3" sewer line testers inside the pipes in the basement, but I guess I was wrong.

Really.must.learn.to.stop.doing.impossible.things.

Oh my, lol.
I am so sorry I forgot to tell you not to do that! I will remember next time, honest :D

And sorry your plumber wasn't nicer :(

Hope it is all fixed now!!

You know what? This is my favourite blog (even if your spellchecking thingy doesn't like my English 'favourite' with a 'u', it comes from French, it's supposed to be there). It's a great escape into full time craftiness that days spent in architecture with plumbers/electricians/metalworks/clients (delete as appropriate) just like yours just somehow doesn't compare to. But I have too many photos of pipes/conduit/insides of staircases/other assorted shadowy places too.

Thank you.

Holy Drain Snake!!! The next question would be; what plumber left it there in the first place??

I'm saying that's an old time fire extinguisher even though I don't see a pumper thingy on it. So, do you know and will you tell us what the cool old thing, fresh from the pipe, is when you know? Too cool looking and too wild it was in your pipe!

What is it ? Something to smoke?

I can recommend an excellent, trustworthy, local (Duluth) plumber. I trusted him in my home and was nothing but pleased.
