Today was a day of plumbing horror; how wonderful it is to discover that your wastewater line or outgoing sewer line or what it should be called not only is horribly clogged but has a large segment constructed from a roll of roofing paper held together with tar that has already been cut into and repaired once somewhere along the line with a piece of metal that looks like it was taken from a cookie sheet. So there'll be more plumbing fun day after tomorrow, including digging up the rest of the back yard. Now in case I ever need to know what a sharpshooter shovel is and what it's used for, I'll be prepared.
