Hey I work better than that. 

So I needed to use a socket saver. Once I cleaned that out I was able to see.

Well I saw enough that the Hillbilly called a plumber.  I will not crawl under the house in any shape or form and the rats ate out the elbow that I so nicely cleaned up on my end. 

 

 

 

Oh in better news. I hit the jackpot Walmart sent me a check for 2900 buckeroos! 

They said I only need to cash it and take 500 for myself. Head on over to Walmart and be a secret shopper and get 3 money orders and send them to them. 🙄

 

They really need to up their game. I live in Arkansas Walmart country. SO why on earth would they send me a check that is from TX but than mailed it out from LA 🙄

I bet that Poor Prince got his money tied up in Walmart money orders and needs help getting them out

1. Have you seen the hunters that use ferrets to chase out rabbits?

2. I wish, it would pay for the plumber. 

 

I'm betting the Hillbilly listen to me!

We have snow flurries. I tossed the kids outside. 

 

[Ontarkie 14,304]

It's snowing outside my kids leave the door wide open. I hear my neighbour outside cutting the grass!

I'm glad you called a plumber and hopefully you saved a little by finding the source of the leaks first.

They are bad this year. We have pest control and they said everyone is having trouble with them. 

Sadly I think the bait is also making them come into the crawl space to get to water. 

I hope the plumber doesn't end up having to redo everything

And they use the rabbits to make Wal-Mart fur coats 🐰 in China...

Man that drain pipe is so easy to replace...

 

And try using wrought iron drain pipes like we do in NYC! 

 

And BX wiring.

[Ontarkie 14,304]

I am not going under this house. I don't care how much I will save. they have spiders, snakes and who knows what else under there! 

 

[SAT 9,609]

 

If you have those drain pipes, then you have romex wiring. And if you have rats, they chewed on the romex...

Are they still putting in cast iron for new construction?  Our house still had the old cast iron when we bought it, but we've replaced most of it.  It degrades somewhat quickly in the ground and is more prone to clogs.  Even our above ground cast iron wasn't in great shape.   They've been pulling all the public cast iron around here, because they've all been leaking lately.

 

The Dane told me a while ago that he only sees ABS here when a homeowner has done a DIY not to code.  I think they still use ABS in the south, though.

They are short on plumbing apprentices here and I was toying around with the idea, but I could never and would never crawl under a house or go in a gross crawlspace or whatever.
