And after all the frustrations that I have had in the past with this bathroom. (see post: aarrggg…..Need to Vent …….. ) Link http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-bhdepression/message.asp?webtag=iv-bhdepression&msg=41962.1
Well last night after I had finished the dishes (Yes I am back to doing them by hand) I notices that the water in the sink was having trouble draining and I recalled that the shower too seems to draining a little slow lately. The drainage problem seems to recur every couple of months, which seems to be get under my skin lately. Well last night after the dishes were finished I went into the bathroom to wash my hands and when I turned around some movement in the shower caught my eye. On closer inspection, I discovered some really black dirty water bubbling up out of the shower drain. It reminded me of the scene from “The Beverly Hillbillies.” You know the scene where the oil is bubbling up out of the ground Black crude, Texas Tea. Well if only it was crude oil but alas it was only dirty water. I called my husband into look and he in turn call his father (the landlord) to have a look. It was determined that it was not sewage water but the possibility of a pipe had rotted through and was allowing dirt in.
Okay, “Calgon Take Me Away.”
My husband left this morning feeling bad that I will have to spend the day with a dirty bathroom and no way to wash dishes for the day. I feel bad that he feels bad. It has been a hard week, weekend and a hard start to a new week. I try not to be irritated by the things that go on here but I can only take so much. I lived with a leaky faucet for two months before it got fix recently. One of the elements on the stove and the element in the oven both stopped working. My father-in-law did fix them but before it got fix, it took me a few weeks to figure out why it would take two hours to cook a chicken in the oven. I hate asking anyone for help because there is some many other things that have to be attended to and I hate bugging or begging. Therefore, I just learn to live with it. We better not go there, I think that I will just end this post now before I start to dwell too much on the negative on this situation. I am finding it a little hard to find the humor right now but I will have to work on this.
Lots of Cyber hugs to you all,
Warm Regards,

All I can offer this afternoon is hugs, but hopefully the plumbing situation will work itself out.
Trac, Old houses have their charm and I would love to own one but I do not know if I could tolerate all the upkeep and the restoration. I could not imagine having to going down the street just to use the bathroom. Thank goodness, it was only for a week.
Worn, Thank you for the information I will be look into that site.
Jenn, On Christmas??? What a mess. What luck finding a Jewish plumber. I bet he took his time. hehe
Just to let you know the problem is fixed but it took four adults two hours to fix it.
Thank you again for the support, I need it.
Warm Regards,
