The Back-Up-edness

So shortly after I moved into my Sacto apartment, my bathtub backed up with some discolored water. And a plumber came out and removed my toilet and snaked my drains. Two weeks passed and when I came back from a weekend in Santa Rosa, the tub was filled with dirty water again. It happened two more times since then. Let’s just say that my bathtub has been bleached more times than Pamela Anderson’s hair. But for the last two months…. no backing up. And I was kind of surprise. Happy, but surprised.

So this evening, around 7:00 there is a knock on my door. And there is a woman and the plumber who came out the first time my tub backed up. It turns out that the laundry sink down in the basement is backed up and my apartment is the only apartment in the building that goes straight to the line. Everyone else’s toilets are linked together. So as we speak, my toilet is off to the side and I have this big machine hanging out in my bathroom. My only hope is that they fix the laundry sink without causing my bathtub to start backing up again.

Oh and I hope that he finishes sometime soon so that I can pee. Because as soon as you know you can’t go to the bathroom, that is when you need to go.
