For those of you that did not know, women think different than men.
Case in point. Last night as I flushed the toilet it did not flush right. The second flush almost filled the bowl. We have the toilets that never clog so it had to be the sewer line. It was 10:30 at night and there was no point worrying about it so I went to bed. I took a real quick shower this morning and the drain worked.
Mrs. Carrera gets up and flushes the toilet and the shower starts backing up.
She managed to wash her hair in the sink and had a sponge bath. For some reason she did not want to stand in Grey water.
(I would not either)
I call Mr. Rooter and set up the time this morning to procure his services. Easy job, the clean-out in at the surface of the sidewalk so unscrew the cap and in 15 feet hit whatever. Gowoosh problem is gone. $110 bucks and he is gone. Money well spent.
My wife asks if I could have done it. I said sure if I had that big stinky snake machine and someplace to store it.
This is the part of woman thinking I don't understand. She was aghast that he did not clean up the machine. I know this guy will be on the way to the next service call and do the same thing again all day. Why clean it up when in 15 minutes it will be be in another sewer?
How can he really clean it up anyway, a pressure washer? I would not want that job either. It would be like cleaning up your boots in the middle of a muddy field.
It is not a great job but I supposed he makes decent money and he will never ever run out of customers. I will happily pay him for that service and not have to buy and store that equipment.
